32. Crop pickers?

I would hope that we would support the immigration of skilled labor, and not just crop pickers.
From my observations in the south, immigrant crop pickers are exploited and taken advantage of. I support ensuring anyone who works in agriculture, regardless of status, gets paid a decent wage.
