What's interesting about this is the illegals I know are all aware they can file for that incoming stimulus check but refuse to give any information that might leave a trail to their front door. Never heard a single one talk about voting because they're all terrified of getting kicked out and losing the ability to send money home to feed their family.
Many years ago in my misspent youth, I worked for a summer at the Green Giant canning factory in Dayton, WA. We had migrants working, both in the fields harvesting green peas AND in the canning factory where I worked. I'll give them this, they were hard workers, and it was long hours in a very hot environment. The canning lines at that time were located very close to the steam retorts, which would heat the cans to a high temperature and kill any bacteria in them. I had a little high-school Spanish back then and could communicate in a rudimentary way, but for the most part, they kept to themselves and even had their own bars they went to.... we gringos went to other bars and restaurants. I was told if I went into one of the migrant's bars, there was a good chance I could get stabbed, so I stayed away from them. The workers were bused in by contractors who I am sure exploited them every way possible. Once the pea growing season was over, they would get on the buses and go further south where other crops were coming in, in Oregon and then California. Interesting life, I'm sure. But as I said, that was AGES ago.
Is Green Giant still located there? My next exposure to hispanics (I was born and raised in a little rural mountain town in east Tennessee, so we never saw them at that time) was when I was stationed at Marine Barracks, Rodman Canal Zone, for guard duty. Frequent trips into Panama City and Coco Solo over on the other side of the isthmus really improved my Spanish, and game me an appreciation for life in America. The level of squalor in Panama City at that time was something to behold! Although it's been many years since my enlistment, I can still speak basic Spanish with ease when dealing with my landscaper here or other situations that call for it.
This has nothing to do with the price of potatoes and everything to do with plantation owners called CEOs these days getting wealthy off the backs of foreigners. It's GREED and I have no problem emptying companies, apartment complexes or entire towns of these job thieves who then take that money out of US circulation completely and send it to be spent somewhere else.
It is a trash argument. Because they never go that one step further. The pay is low because of illegals. So if Americans were doing the work it would be at a living wage, hence they would do it.
HOPS! You forgot hops, we grow more hops than nearly anyone on the planet. I'm in WA too and I've noticed there's a whole Mexican underground pharmacia. It stretches from coast to coast. They are way more tuned-in and organized than peeps realize.
Like many countries, pharmacists in mexico are not bossed around by doctors. You can get most any drug without a prescription, and doctors give you advice on what to get instead of permission to get it. This lets them grow up with greater knowledge and self-reliance regarding drugs. And doctors have to justify their time and cost by giving useful advice, as opposed to here where many (not all by any means) doctors simply charge in order to give you a z-pak or insulin or some other drug that is well known to the user but unavailable without paying for a doctor first.
The trafficked are usually the most skeptical of us. That's why I KNOW the shit holes they're leaving are real their world ahithiles worth fleeing from. They wouldn't risk life and limb if they weren't.
I live in W. Volusia County, FL. We also have a heavy Latino migrant farm worker population. And they're the same down here as they are in Wa, highly suspicious of vaccines they "know" they don't necessarily need to survive.
There was an ad in my local CIA Gannett paper today that said No espere, vacunese!! I don't speak Spanish, but I changed it to: Espere, no vacunese! Is that right, you Spanish speakers? I can make signs with the upside down exclamation point and accent.
I think the word is getting out about vaccines.

I went to Panama City a few years ago and to visit the Panama Canal. The poverty and crime are awful.
Ah well, some things never change.
$2 fee? You should see what places like Manpower, Robert Half, Excel, etc take... more than that.
Where do these people work? I have no problem calling ICE on your friends.
Worth it to get rid of your job stealing criminal alien friends. Worth it to pay a livable wage to an American family.

From the same group of people laughing at all the idiots in Cali getting laid off for passing their $15 minimum wage?
This will never happen.
You've heard of work visas?
Kek.
