Coming to the US to pick crops is a victimless ‘crime’. If anyone, the bigger criminals are the US citizens who own the companies, large and small, who hire undocumented workers and know full well they are doing it.
- masonic 8y agoLess than one half of one percent are "picking crops". Most work in hospitality and food prep, indoors.
- code_duck 8y agoAre you saying there is some qualitative difference there, or just adding work examples? Do you use the scare quotes to mean people who come to the US to work cleaning hotels are victimizing US citizens by doing so? Or that you disagree, because I’m wrong and people who prep sandwiches and clean apartments are more to blame for their unlawful employment than their employers? Why would it matter that they're indoors? I’m really confused by what you choose to emphasize. I find it unlikely that agricultural employees make up .5% of Central American immigrants in the US at any given time. That figure sounds low.
