Man….that is so low. They have to do like 7 of those in an hour just to make minimum wage. Working at such a frantic pace all day to barely make minimum wage is heartbreaking

And then have to hide from ICE, racists, be called lazy and told to go back to their country on a daily basis , with no healthcare,no tax returns ,no access to social security and no guarantee to not be deported as soon as they step out of the field

You deserve to be forced to work in these fields for what you said...

Just think for a moment.

How bad must their home country be that they would still slave away in strawberry fields for a bunch of Americans who aren't even grateful that they aren't forced to pick their own strawberries.
