The big business of farming in the US is booming but undocumented migrants make up more than half of the farming workforce. They are ripe for exploitation and face low salaries, substandard housing, risk of injury, pesticides and heat stroke. Some literally work themselves to death. In this episode, Inside USA investigates farming in the era of free trade.

Yeah? Well how come all the rich trash whose feces don't stink are allowed to do it to them??? PLUS, all over the world! No wonder we're always getting something or someone blown up in the nation! Abusive polices breeds retaliation! You reap what ye sow. So I guess soon we won't even pay attention 'cause it will go back and forth, back and forth, over and over forever. That's insane.

Uhhh....because lawyers cost money and theres not enough lawyers willing to take on cases for free. Plus, no one bothers to tell them their rights, they barely get a pot to shit in. They're used to being abused in Mexico, so they just assume the USA is the same way. Thats why they're so easy to exploit.

to All Americans reading this: INFORM YOURSELF! find out how your embassies influence governments so these trade agreements are negotiated. YOU ARE LOSING YOUR JOBS TOO!!!GET OUT OF THAT BOX!!!There is a world out there that is being affected by your officials and you dont even know it.

Nice video. It does tell the truth story about why Latin Americans keep on entering the US ilegally. NAFTA was a HUGE mistake!!! Our farmers in Mexico/CentralAmerica with TLC can't compete with this. Even Americans lost many jobs due to companies relocating outside the US but as you can see in some of the comments AMERICANS ARE BLIND!!! that is why they always cry WHY EVERYDOBY HATE US? American government and corporations run then whole thing.

Foreigners are the root of all evil.

This is BULL! These people could sue these corporations especially if they are denied benefits and minimum wage. WhY DON'T THEY SUE??? They have nothing to lose but LOT'S to gain. All they are doing is making it possible to BE exploited!!! They are helping these employers HIDE THEIR HUMAN RIGHT ABUSES! SUE, SUE, SUE; or you got no crediblity with me.

Hey AlJazeera, why don't you and yours take those "poor helpless Mexicans" into YOUR HOME AND SOCIETY since you find so much fault with US.

They already made that, type in "Acid Attack raises questions" and it will show you a story about a Sudanese woman
