If you knew any migrant workers, you'd know that like fishermen, they get paid by the volume or weight of what they're harvesting.  And like fishermen who don't get paid hourly and don't get paid for the time they've spent setting lines/nets/traps, repairing the nets, icing the hull, etc., migrants don't get paid for the time they spend tending the crop.  And harvests are gambles, particularly in the unsettling weather patterns of the past years.  

Out of whatever money they get for harvesting the crop, they get charged by their 'wranglers' for expenses (room, board, transportation, etc.).

Whatever they earn is an annual salary (or bi-annual, if they can land winter crops, and transportation costs), and must be stretched to support them from one harvest to the next harvest.  

But as a law-abiding and patriotic American, if you knew any of these diseased, criminal migrants, you'd turn them in, right?
