Amen. And why aren’t we demanding that the USD subsidize building safe housing instead of the shanty towns some farmers cobble together?

I knew of a farm in FL that housed immigrants in mobile homes with no air conditioning. "They work in the heat and sun all day. They don't need (read: deserve) it."

Yeah. The callousness of some farmers to the people they depend on to keep the farm running is horrifying. And the stories of SA by American Field overseers on women are rife as well. We have to do better.

Overseers have been SAing women since the days of slavery. I wish I could say I was surprised.....but nope.

Unfortunately, neither am I.

It’s honestly infuriating. I’m here in Los Angeles. Our city/state economies run on the labor of undocumented people. But the cruelty these folks risk getting here and living here are horrible- and unless we accept this & make the immigration process easier, cheaper, safer? We can’t stop the abuse.

Exactly. Even if we "just" made worker visas more accessible, allowing them to come here to work, returning home if they choose in the off season, while paying them a decent wage and benefits, it would be so much better..... but racism and hate.
