    Isn’t it a confession that he wittingly employs undocumented migrants and isn’t it illegal?

        Isn’t it a confession that he wittingly employs undocumented migrants and isn’t it illegal?

        They stopped even trying to maintain that lie decades ago. 20 years ago the paper had an article with a local farmer vocally declaring “We can’t afford to hire legal migrant labor. Too much regulation. They make us provide toilets and pay minimum wage.”

        I wasn’t surprised that farmers exploited migrants. I was surprised that it was so common that the farmer felt safe having his name and picture next to a quote in a regional newspaper declaring, “Of course I break federal laws.”
