>Is there really an economic reason for them to hire illiterate peasants from other countries to pick the crops for them?
Agriculture is mostly automated or streamlined via machinery. It doesn't make sense to hire illegals to operate your multimillion dollar equipment since illegals wouldn't be held liable for potential damages. The "illegals are picking the crops" argument has been debunked thoroughly by anyone that's ever stepped foot on a commercial farm.
