There used to be ‘guest worker’ programs where the immigrant went back home after harvest, or after a given period of time. Nowadays, many people take the phrase ‘guest worker’ as just another phrase or phase that will lead to total amnesty and full citizen’s rights. Dr. Ben will need to define exactly what he means by that term, and the test will be whether his answers remain consistent from one interview to the other.
I know two people who have truck farms in TX. They had the same workers from MX for years. Two years ago, IIRC, the gov changed things. They were told they couldn't bring in their same seasonal guys from MX that they"d had for years- they government would chose, plus they had to have a certain number of women.
One farmer just opted to quit farming as adding separate housing for women would cost a lot. Training the workers on the equipment, and farming routines would take time, and only after training would he know if they were capable and reliable.
Also, he didn't think females could do some of the more physically demanding tasks, and he didn't want any male/ female drama creating problems on his farm.
