Immigrants account for about two-thirds of the nation's crop farmworkers, and Bruce Lampman, a dairy farmer, states that without them, agriculture in the U.S. would be crippled.
Anita Alves Pena, an economics professor, warns that agricultural employers are already struggling with labor shortages, and a policy that deports immigrants would worsen the situation significantly.
Lampman emphasizes his reliance on immigrants for farming, saying, 'We wouldn't survive without them,' highlighting the essential role they play in U.S. agriculture.
The difficulty in hiring farm laborers is exacerbated by low wages for hard work, leading to heavy reliance on immigrant workers, even those undocumented.
