How do you get crops out of the ground without using pretty much slave labor? Bring back the good ol' days of 1840's? Just use prison inmates?
Undocumented immigrants are an easy to exploit workforce. They can't complain about unsafe or unscrupulous practices, because of deportation hanging over their heads. If my boss here started acting like a bastard, I could go down to the EEOC or labor board and raise hell.
I don't make much, but I'm willing to pay more for food if it'll give the people picking and processing it a life.
