The folks who think we need a permanent and endless supply of unfree foreign labor in the United States are not paying attention to the speed of agricultural automation. Blue berries and raspberries are historically pretty cheap, and this is why: harvests are way up and labor costs are down. That's a win-win for America, even if it's not for Maine harvesters of wild blue berries.
