I worked as a blueberry picker when I was between jobs one year. Tough work, but I'd do it again if I needed a job.

Tune in #insideman #cnn wow my orange juice will have a different meaning now!!

Just like anything else someone is making a ton of $4 from citrus and paying the least for labor put more $$ in their pockets. No wonder they dont want to stop illegal workers bc they would have to pay much more to get legal workers. Sometimes the biz takes out for taxes from illegals but keep it for themselves instead of giving to irs

My father has worked in the fields of California for over 30 years now. I'm glad Mr. Spurlock decides this topic for his show.

Morgan Spurlock explained that H-2A guest workers are in the U.S. legally and temporarily. H-2A Visas require employers to provide housing and transportation for guest workers. Workers send most of the money they make back to Mexico. When picking season is over, they return to their families in the hopes of getting another H-2A Visa next season, even though it does NOT provide any sort of pathway to citizenship.
