So much of the argumentation around this topic sounds the south arguing for slavery except it's liberals arguing for exploitative labor.

Yep, forcing businesses to actually pay market rate for labour is something of an upside.
Republicans are not "liberals", no matter how much you Tankies claim that they are. They are the very definition of Fascist.
OP meant liberal Democrats.

Why don't these farmers pay more to AMERICAN 🦅🇺🇸 citizens 🤬
Do they not understand demand and supply principle of capitalism?
They demanded the freedom to treat women and minorities as subhuman, and Trump supplied them with a government that said "yes, that's exactly what we'll do, and we won't even bother to pretend otherwise"
Do they not understand demand and supply principle of capitalism?
Yes, they do. It's why they voted for Trump, so they don't have to. What they want is to be able to explot cheap labor sans consequences and keep all the profits, not paying any taxes.
Currently some hicccups along the way to thier nirvana, which is why they're complaining and waiting for the fix.

Well, they won’t work for less than minimum wage, so there’s your problem. Hell, won’t even work for minimum wage.
Isn't $7/hr minimum wage? That's slave conditions as well.
Let's think about this. If you work 8 hours under the hot sun with little breaks, you'll get $56 and that's before taxes. It's insane. That's probably not even what they're paying them.
Farm labor is often 12-14 hour days. It's backbreaking work. Also, Florida and Texas (and I'm not sure what other states) have passed laws eliminating guaranteed water breaks for outside workers.
