That forces participants to take huge risks in guessing where a moving target might land - how many locals, how many foreigners - often with an entire season's revenue at stake." United States Farmworker Factsheet http://saf-unite.org/content/united-states-farmworker-factsheet "Despite farmworkers' economic and cultural contributions to the communities where they live and work, they continue to be the some of the lowest paid, least protected, and unhealthiest workers in the United States."

it's funny that you claim that you work cheap but then you say that you not working will hurt the economy lol, that leads me to believe that you don't actually know anything about the economy because you did then you wouldn't say stupid shit like that. Your not a fortune 500 company who employs thousands of people and has stock market value which is traded publicly so therefore you playing in the dirt or not isn't gonna do anything to our economy. By getting rid of you we will release more American people from prisons directly into work which will raise morale and reduce our repeat offender percentage keeping more Americans out of prison and making money and helping the economy because they will be paying taxes(not that bullshit you claim is paying taxes) it's also gonna lower prison costs which will lower American taxes and free up more money for the American education system and health care system that you roaches are bleeding dry
