Build the wall

Farmers are 1%. "In agriculture" is more. Smaller farmers work (main) jobs for living cash for expenses in hand. I don't know where to account for the beginnings and ends on that one. The huge guys are a different skill set altogether. :dunno:
 
You'd be wrong. Farms cannot get labor without immigrants. They'll never be able to pay enough. The work is hard enough that the workers have to be used to damned desperate conditions. And Americans are not.
I'm kind of assuming these workers would also be protected by OSHA and similar regulations. Depending on the exact nature of the job, I would have considered doing farm work for $15-20 an hour as a high school/college student, especially if I only had to work say 20 hours a week.
 
A secondary risk after proper wages are paid would be if the job fails to prepare people for the next career option after they burn out doing this one. But that will be true for a huge portion of manual labor jobs already.
 
"Failed to prepare" is largely a social conceit to remain hiring within social category. From my observation.

Then again, once upon a time in HR I watched the place I worked for pay for classes for the guy in the mailroom, then consistently refuse to try him out for entry level positions within field when they could get people with experience in on visa. Wait, I don't think that's a "then again" at all(if I sort out the social classes).
