While farmers go bankrupt due to tariffs and plow crops under due to lack of migrant workers to harvest them, Americans are paying higher and higher prices for food staples as a result.

Yes, it borders on slave labor that they are horribly underpaid and work without benefits, sick leave or breaks.
