These workers are exploited with low pay, REALLY hard work and no benefits. We recently redecorated our home and both the roofing and flooring crews were Spanish speaking. They worked HARD - 10 hour days. We fed them lunch and stuff, but still...

Who is Trump? What a jerk. He'd last about 10 minutes doing what these guys are doing.

Let's have some respect, raise minimum wage, guarantee healthcare and have a sane seasonal worker immigration policy - because what we have now that guys like Trump are freaking about is a system set up by business to ignore rules so cheap labor can cross the border and be cruelly exploited.
