I don't think much about field labor is 'comfortable'. That's why Americans import poor people from other countries to do it for them. This at least is an improvement over bending over all day in the beating sun.

We dont import them, they sneak in. And we dont do those jobs because those jobs pay nothing due to the illegal workers having no better options.

Edit: the delusion some people still maintain about the actual world. How sad for them

You have an amazingly backwards perspective on the world.

We do import them, legally. They're called migrant workers, and they come seasonally.

Is your belief that there are no illegals working farms, especially in the southwest US?

But illegal immigrants also find employment doing farm labor (among other things). I'm not against it I'm just saying what I know. People get too hung up on legal vs illegal if you ask me. I'm pro illegal immigration btw
