Scores of immigrant farm workers in the U.S. are avoiding work after President Trump removed "sensitive area" protections amid his immigration crackdown.

Around 75% of immigrant farm workers in Bakersfield, California, ditched their shifts after Trump ramped up his threats by removing protections against ICE raids in “sensitive areas,” including schools and workplaces.

    What would they pay if not dollars per hour? Cats per hour?

      He probably means they pay single-digit dollars per hour, as opposed to tens of dollars per hour.

      But they also could be paying per amount of crop harvested (per bushel or per pound), I think.
