You’d destroy multiple industries that result on exploiting illegal migrants, and low cost labor from those with green cards. Hospitality, sanitation, meat packing, construction, agriculture, etc all would come up floaters
The whiplash from average Americans would be incredible. We’ve priced in domestic exploitation into several industries, and US consumers have come to demand it, and more.

That kind of system existed in post-WWII USA, when a high school graduate could work full time to afford a house while being the single income for a big family.

The problem isn’t that you like cheap produce.
The problem is that corporations profit off of the exploitation. Your price could remain the same if the company was willing to accept less profit.
They would still be rich. Just not as rich.
And that’s a problem with almost every company in existence.
Maybe we need profit caps put into law.

We called it ‘taxes’.
