13. Pretty much
Joe Pig would tell his workers at his widget factory that times are hard and they will no longer be making that $15/hour for their skills but that their wage will be dropped to $5.15/hour. Most of them will quit and try to find something elsewhere that will actually pay their bills. He then whines to Uncle Sam that Americans don't want to work any more, and Uncle Sam recruits Mexicans to fill his factory at $5.15/hour.

That's how it works.
