Plenty of inmates that could get out there until wages rise or machines take over.

A machine that doesn't bruise a strawberry has not yet been invented, and same for most fruit.
Problem is, and I have heard this from many a farmer, is that Mexicans work their ass off, they don't work by hour, they work by box, and a good Mexican will work 12-18 hours a day during harvest and maybe load +100 boxes of fruit/vegetables, the average white person ( I'm not going even bother discussing 3rd gen black welfare lardasses ), the avg white person does about 2-4 boxes and collapses from exhaustion. This is a fact. Most farmers on West Coast of USA will only hire Mexicans during harvest they don't have time to fuck with white people. Problem is most fruit vegetables has 1-2 days to be picked otherwise it rots, no time to fuck around, Mexicans come in and get the work done, and move on to next job. Whites come in late, bitch & moan, take off time for sick, and fail to show up second day of work.
Regarding use of criminals, that is NOT going to happen, the farmer doesn't want a busload of idiots coming in at 4am to his farm and needing to have their dicks held, and besides the guards are on a shift of 8 hours and want to bus the inmates back to the pen and go home, the farmer has to work 18 hours/day during harvest. No time to fuck with GOV PPL or their slaves.

It's too bad they hired people here illegally. In fact they're lucky if they don't get charged with aiding and abetting. They've done the country a great disservice. The market will normalize and wages will rise in those jobs. No one's to blame but those who dealt in illegalities.
