QOTD 10/16/2026

For over 150 years, migrant farmworkers have formed the hidden backbone of the global food supply. They perform the work that most Americans today find too difficult, dangerous, or dirty, and at wages many native-born citizens find unacceptably low.

As one Nebraska agricultural business owner said, “Americans don’t want those jobs.”

Despite the critical role of agricultural labor, many people in the U.S. and Europe blame migrants for societal woes like housing shortages, labor competition, rising inflation, or declining social services. Yet, migrant farmworkers are one of the most vulnerable groups when it comes to labor exploitation, as well as lack of access to social services.

Migrants also pay taxes. For instance, undocumented workers in the U.S. pay taxes on their earnings through automatic payroll deductions and sales tax on everyday purchases. Farmworkers also contribute to essential federal and state services such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicare, and Social Security that they - by virtue of their legal status - cannot enjoy.
