According to labour advocates, federal immigration agency operations favor wage theft from farmworkers in Southern California, particularly undocumented workers, as many of them avoid risk by demanding good pay, according to labor advocates.

American labor advocacy groups were concerned that some employers may be exploiting the continuing immigration crisis to avoid paying their employees a reasonable wage.

Day workmen who visit Home Depot parking lots hoping to find good spend construction work are just a few examples of the cases that worker advocates have identified.
