30. I see this repeated all over the state...
not just on farms. Labor jobs at the waterfront, hotels, restaurants, roofers...basically, the big employers do whatever is cheapest. They do not want a path to citizenship. They do not want a legal worker. They do not want an organized worker. If they could get away with it, they would have slaves.

The repubs are protecting the system that they exploit. This lawsuit is interesting to me because I think it could be documented all over the state, so maybe an avalanche of parallel court challenges would embarrass the JD Alexanders and also help change the abuse.
