About half of the country’s 2.4 million agricultural farm workers do not have legal status in the US .

The number is much higher in places like California , where it can be “as high as 70% in some areas” Without undocumented immigrant labor, the U.S. would probably import more of its food supply making food prices vulnerable to fluctuations.

Most undocumented farm workers in California and across the country have been here for at least 10 years .

This means “they’ve lived through a Trump presidency before”, said Antonio De Loera-Brus , communications director for the United Farm Workers of America .
