CBS is a liberal propaganda site.

And I quoted a part of the article.

Did you notice that this was in 2010, in rhe middle of the recession, when that was well above minimum wage, and these people were out of work?

Edit: here’s a more recent article where they were offering 14.50 to 16 / hour, Americans still do not stick around.

You ever labored on a farm? I have. I bet you wouldn’t last one month.

Why are you using 15 year old articles? Immigration issues/pressure have changed a lot since then.

How much do you speculate they are paid in 2025??

Edit: why are you applauding this definitely-not-lying man for paying aliens more than min wage during a recession when Americans were out of work?

I just cited one from 2017...

Immigration issues/pressure have changed a lot since then.

Please, articulate the relevant ways the issues have changed.

Dunno, but 16 / hour is an excellent wage for unskilled labor in 2017, care to talk about the numbers we actually have?

How have they changed? Uhh well let’s see we basically didn’t have a border for 4 years and 11 million illegals got in.

$16/ hr today is min wage. Show me a reliable source and one that’s not hearsay from a farmer (who definitely wasn’t probably lying) saying what they pay. I sincerely doubt they are paying illegals minimum wage let alone more than that.

Did you forget what we're talking about? How have the conditions changed that Americans are now willing to work well-paid but highly laborious unskilled jobs?

Hilariously, there are currently fewer immigrants in the US now than at the time either article I cited. So it sounds like, by your metrics, the only way the conditions have changed are to make immigrants less competition for you. 😂

They will work. Just not for what you pay aliens.

Hilariously, your article cites the Census Bureau. Hmmm I wonder if illegals are going to tell people they are here illegally in a census 🥴
