The villages got raided today

Blah Blah Blah, that's all we ever here from is the same bullshit

 

My youngest is just getting started in college. Great we now have someone to pick our tomatoes

 

Just curious, what do you consider low wage?

 

I agree with you, but the argument is they should have applied for one legally. The reasons they don't is for tax savings or they might have a record.

 

Forever, now that's just dumb statement. I think the owners should be given an ultimatum, pay for all their illegal workers to get registered and help them apply for the work visas which would allow them to stay. Any business that doesn't comply should be arrested and face steep fines

 

Nationally, farmworkers’ average annual income is $11,000; for a family it is approximately $16,000. It’s seasonal work so it comes to around $17 an hour it seems - a little lower in NC than CA. So you need people to work seasonally for hard work at low pay. Perfect for our kids!

How do these employees get around current law, such as the quota for new immigrant workers a year? 8 million > 110,000 quota. Or the fact that H1B visas only allow a person to work in the US six years, and the average immigrant stays for over 16 years, meaning many are no longer eligible.
