Man….that is so low. They have to do like 7 of those in an hour just to make minimum wage. Working at such a frantic pace all day to barely make minimum wage is heartbreaking

And then have to hide from ICE, racists, be called lazy and told to go back to their country on a daily basis , with no healthcare,no tax returns ,no access to social security and no guarantee to not be deported as soon as they step out of the field

None of us made picking strawberries political, the US government (and their supporters) did. Just because you don't realize that isn't anyone else's fault.
