According to La Cooperativa, a Sacramento-based farm-worker assistance organization, 75% of California's farm workers are undocumented, playing a critical role in the state's agriculture.
Ana Padilla, executive director of UC Merced's Community and Labor Center, notes that most workers in agriculture and food production are noncitizens, highlighting the dependence on this labor force.
Economists argue that America benefits from the undocumented workforce, as they take on demanding jobs across various industries, essential for the nation's prosperity.
California's farmers produce a significant portion of the nation's food supply, contributing one-third of vegetables and three-quarters of fruits and nuts, necessitating a reliable workforce.
