"We tried to bring in American people," says Johnson, who stands 5-foot-1 in heels, and grew up on a farm nearby, "but the American people, they are just lazy. . . . If they [the Latinos] would get out of here, we would have to close because we couldn't find enough people.

I noticed that nowhere in the article is it mentioned how much these people are being paid for their hard labor, but I suspect that it is below minimum wage, and it's illegal to pay American citizens or legal immigrants below minimum wage.
