^ be careful on the examples you pick to defend certain arguments.
for example, while migrant farm work is certainly backbreaking and not for everyone, it is also possible to make well over $15/hr if you take a job that pays for the amount you pick and not the time you spend doing it. considering they aren't paying $1500/month to rent an apartment, this means they can theoretically save quite a bit of money and make other investments in their future.
the truth is that some do, but many more take what could be saved and have to send it back to support family back home.
