aperently they are bussed in from mexico. they do the same thing here in alabama. they say it's because white people won't work the jobs. It's weird I've never seen a job listing for farm work...and it says they go and work at multiple farms throughout the season.

“Look, we are paying $14.50 now, but we are going up to $16.”

man I know there a ton of people that would sign up for that. they are full of shit saying white people won't work on farms for 16 an hour...

oh now I figured it out...the farms don't have to withhold federal income tax for migrant workers but they do for american citizens....

Same here, I have kept my eyes open for years for farm work and I've never seen any listed on the various sites I've looked and not on community bulletins either. All of these fuckers are liars when they say Americans don't want to do the work. I worked at my friend's greenhouse for only $12/hr and ended up working 70 hour weeks because I ENJOYED it. I was doing the same hard labor the illegals do.

You are 100% right on with what the issue is. Also, I recently worked at a non-profit that worked with and helped farmers, they are the world's biggest assholes. They truly believe that they single-handedly run this country because they grow some shitty vegetables using illegal labor. They think laws don't apply to them and they think they can walk into local establishments and treat everybody like shit. It was pathetic seeing two of these narcissistic hotheads who couldn't handle somebody else possibly having any bit of power punch each other out in a parking lot.

I've been mad that I lost that job to the quarantine, but now remembering how much farmers can go suck dicks I don't feel so bad.
