That was their habit in Mexico, so I guess they do it here, also, even though America actually has decent sanitary facilities. They should really locate port-a-potties in the fields if they use migrant labor, in order to cut down on those incidents.
Even if they use the outhouses, they may still be going back to picking in the field without having washed their hands.
Yeah, that’s a good idea on paper, but if they’re used to dropping trou in the size fields they pick in Mexico when the urge suddenly hits, do you think they’ll have any compunction about it here if the Port-A-Potty is a hundred yards away? Those are big fields on those farms. Better safe than sorry.
