Hard to believe that a farmers overhead, no matter what he grows legally can afford flights from the mainland for a dozen or so workers, even at charter rate if they were to co-op expenses on the plane. The larger farms have to explain everything to the IRS via bookkeepers and accountants, and it is not worth the fines to them for using undocumented workers if caught.

It is not their natural ethic!' It is hundred of years of social conditioning. These are not your educated masses, there are native people used to hard work because otherwise they don't eat. Not one mixed Central American illegal probably went to school, these are dislocated farmers or people with enough desperation to do what they have to to gain a foothold here....once they are stable they don't work that hard. Ask the fat cats in California who need to have a revolving door of cheap labor to have someone take care of their kids for pennies on the dollar. We are not benefactors, we are exploiters. They are slaves for a while, but not forever.
I don't blame anyone from not taking that backbreaking work, the state knows very well what is happening, but just like in California, they are looking the other way.
If these people were paid just wages and workmans comp then it would be fair labor competition, but is not!. When they get hurt they are out! Enjoy your brew.
All the large and small farms are doing this. Go and find out by yourselves.
