Would you break your back in the fields for $3 an hour or $120 a week? In the least, job should pay minimum legal wage.

Cheap bastards, I hope their potatoes rot in the field.
They are talking about legal migrant workers, right? I think they have to pay higher than $3.00 an hour.

I wonder which farmer will be first to double their labor rate to attract less productive Americans to work on their farm? Keep in mind they don't set crop prices and will have to compete with other farmers with cheaper, harder working labor. Or would you like to pay $5.00 for a single potato?
