Lots of smaller farms are family run. It's the mega farms that excessively rely on outside labor, particularly during critical seasons. They're 4.4% of farms, but 47.6% of production. There's a lot of data here. [1] I think there's a reasonable argument that deportations could instead work to decentralize things by effectively increasing labor costs. Hard to keep massive farms running (and offering cheap crops) without large labor pools willing to work for what is literally pennies per bucket of crops that they harvest.
