We massively subsidize corn that is better grown overseas. OK. Now that agricultural industry needs employees. But we put restriction on legal immigration by requiring things like advance degrees. Where are those labors to come from? From the countries who need those jobs and could better grow that corn if free trade was practiced.

I doubt we need foreign workers for the corn, wheat, sorgum, millet, sunflower or rice farms. These are highly mechanized and automated requiring very little labor.
The armies of cheap labor are needed for fruit and vegetable crops where hand labor is intensive and backbreaking.
