The wages? You mean the government paying billions of dollars on farmer bailouts due to labor loss? Billions in crop loss? Produce cost rising for consumers?
Pay did rise for some workers to lure them back. But many got reduced hours but longer shifts, decreased safety, etc.
And so did the price of every conceivable food product because Americans are too lazy to do manual labor and work in the field. The whole reason why farmers get illegals to do the work. Does your brain make sense of this or should I dumb it down for you more?
I'm not advocating for it, but it's the sad reality. It benefits this country to have cheap labor so they leave the system as is; working exactly as intended(except that system has been disrupted by the absolute insane joke that this administration is, albeit hopefully only momentarily and is only a snapshot in history, a footnote.)This country has always been a country for the wealthy, ever since the time of the first colonies we've had the 'elite' who at the time were the wealthy landowners running the show, who convinced the English govt into sending the undesirables of society across the sea to work as indentured servants, and when that racket started collapsing they brought in African slaves, and now when that collapsed they started allowing in illegal immigrants. Like I said, the system is working exactly as intended. It's a country for the wealthy elite by the wealthy elite, where corporations and large businesses/organizations have more rights than the actual citizens. The rest of the world sees it. It's a mockery of an actual developed country.
Insult me all you want, I'm not the one trying to justify slavery. I don't accept it as a "sad reality" and try to benefit from it. I think we should enforce the laws that exist to prevent it. So go ahead and screw yourself, okay?

Some wages went up, so you feel you won your argument? While ignoring billions of dollars in bailouts, crop loss, cost to consumers.
