100% American participation and automation are definitionally opposed. But they know that.

Every crop that can be harvested with automation already is and the ones that can't be are going to have farms screaming because you can't just throw a bunch of untrained people at them and expect it to be done with any kind of efficiency. It's just another excuse to deny people benefits and hope they die quietly in a gutter.

Not only that, but Americans by and large haven't done farm work for decades, and the ones who did only did it as a child or are already working in those fields. You aren't going to magic up some poors from the cities to harvest oranges.
