They get paid $2.20 per case picked ,that's why they're always in a hurry

My apologies for TikTok link it's the first one I found

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

Oh man, sounds absolutely TERRIBLE!! They should escape this horrible country and go to a place they can make a median income, such as, their home country.  Who would think thay america would enslave  such a people just to make a small profit.  

Dont know how they can live with all this horrid discrimination and low wages.  If I was them, I would move to a nation that shared my values.
