A court-appointed attorney is a constitutional right (6th amendment). The government guarantees you will have the option of legal representation if accused of a crime, and you can take it all the way to the Supreme Court if you don't get that.

>In California, when immigrant labor started getting deported, celery farmers kept increasing wages to attract new labor, and even after more than doubling their wages, couldn't get enough people to pick all the celery.

Then wages weren't high enough. It really is that simple. And if the farmer can't get anyone to buy the celery priced high enough to support the costs of labor, then he shifts away from labor intensive crops, or outsources the crops, which is exactly what the article says he did. This is a healthy functioning market, responding to supply and demand pressures. And $$$ awaits the man or woman who invents a cheaper way to harvest celery at lower labor costs.
