Foreign-born workers comprised a large share of the hired crop labor force


Foreign-born workers may be authorized to work in the United States under various visa categories. While employment eligibility, like all information obtained in the NAWS, is self reported, the NAWS seeks to determine whether foreign-born respondents are authorized to work in the United States by asking a series of related questions that produces a picture of their eligibility status. The questions address the foreign-born worker's current status (citizen, legal permanent resident, border crossing-card holder, applicant for residency, temporary visa holder, or unauthorized) and, when applicable, the date and program under which the individual applied for legal status. The responses to these questions are examined to determine whether the interviewee is eligible to work in the United States. Each foreign-born respondent is also directly asked if he/she has authorization to work in the United States.

“How many black people do any sort of farm work anymore???”

Probably very few unless they own the farm or ranch.

From personal experience, in the rural areas of Mississippi (the Delta) and Alabama (the Black Belt), quite a few.
