Fruit and vegetable production is a labor-intensive process, and
over half of the hired workers employed by growers are believed to
be unauthorized immigrants. Reforms to immigration laws, if they
reduce the labor supply, may increase the cost of farm labor. The
authors of this report assess how particular fruit and vegetable
commodities might adjust if labor rates increased. Analysis of case
studies suggests a range of possible adjustment scenarios,
including increased mechanization for some crops, reduced U.S.
output for a few crops, and increased use of labor aids to improve
labor productivity for others.
