   	Well apparently they find hard field work such as black people   
   enslaved and free but under the Black Codes aka Jim Crow were forced   
   to do. Generally it is hard cultivating and harvesting crops of all   
   sorts from lettuce to fruit.  I remember in California the use of the   
   short handled hoe was the subject of controversy.  Hoeing the crops,   
   Weeding the crops and harvesting if done in the sun light were very   
   tiring. Inhaling the fumes and particles that had been crop dusted   
   onto the crops to try to keep the insect damage down was not good   
   for the Braceros. Frequently it was families from the time the child   
   was old enough until if lucky they could start schooling. Farm owners   
   were resistant to providing sanitation and water during the picking   
   seasons.   
   	Since the California farmers could not use slaves they used   
   immigrant labor from over the nearest border.  Without the low cost   
   labor prices to the ultimate consumer would soar.   
   	Now you ask the MAGAns why they don't take the Braceros   
   jobs?   
      
   	I am very pale-skinned which might have been called peaches   
   and cream before I got exposed to sunlight but then became freckled   
   and before I hit 40 I had pre-squamous cell carcinoma on my face.   
   At 60 despite removal of most of these pre-cancerous lesions I   
   had a fairly large cancerous lesion which was surgically removed.   
   And if i had done farm work in the field the lesions would have   
   been larger and more frequent. So having been sunburned as a child   
   and having some medical knowledge from my training as a hospital   
   corps person in the USN I attempted to minimize my expose to the   
   rays of old Sol.  So some Trumpites may fell but i bet they feel   
   that that field work is beneath them.   
   	But feel free to verify my speculations by talking   
   to the MAGA and QAnon people.
