    Yup. Immigration authorities know they can pick random farms in certain regions and round up the entire workforce as working without a visa. Enforcing this would grind agriculture to a halt in many states.

    Nobody actually wants that, including the farm owners who tend to vote Trump and complain about the “illegals” working for them. So they do a few raids now and then to look like they’re doing something. Meanwhile, the workers aren’t allowed to take water breaks in humid >90F weather.
