The greed of business and the blind eye of the government will allow this type of abuse to continue.

As exploited and misused as the tomato pickers are, it is still better than the conditions they left "back home".
But I still say its time to arrest and fine the employers of these, mostly illegal workers. If reporters can find these people, to write about, ICE can find them to arrest.
