Foreign labor is employer indentured, both cheap and captive.
If it were _only_ about money, they’d lowball locals.
As non-living wage, citizens a) can’t afford to work there and b) in abusive work terms, will leave.
Rather than employers fix their wage and work terms, they chose indentured, and our fed sees to it that the supply is provided, by not enforcing the law.
Elite OWN Washington, DC.

Washington isn’t reliant on cheap labor,
They are reliant on cheap “illegal” labor.
Duh.. An ICE agent could spend his Carrera chasing illegals up and down 97.

Also, you can’t find people from this country to do farm work. They think it’s too hard. Sad you don’t know the whole story before ypu write these articles.

Then some advocate lawyers urged the workers to sue for wage violations and inadequate housing. So the growers said guess what, we are going to mechanized cutting. Farmers can mechanize a lot of jobs and pay decent money for those they can’t.

Last night Tucker Carlson revealed a lengthy email initially written by a senior Google exec, Eliana Murillo, the day after the election and then sent to various other company executives. In it she wrote of a, her words, “silent donation” to the Clinton campaign.

“We also supported partners like Voto Latino to pay for rides to the polls in key states {silent donation}.” “After all these efforts and what we thought was positive momentum toward change the results are not what we expected at all.”

What she wrote, silent donation, is clearly an admission of an illegal contribution, as it was directed toward people who were going to vote overwhelmingly for Hillary in “key states”. Naturally the mainstream media has ignored this obvious bias because it only confirms everything Trump and the Republicans have been saying forever. Which is, the big tech companies are against them.
