    My lead feeder makes 75k a year. That’s more than I take home for myself. I personally sponsored him to get a visa, as I have for over 20 of my other employees over the past five years.

    The lower positions take home 160 a day to start. But there is a pay scale based on time employed, and vacation days accrue and improve based on tenure.

    These are my employees, but they are also my neighbors and my friends. I go to their birthday parties and their kids graduations. The quincienetas and baby showers.

    I know whose hard work and sweat makes my money, and I work along side them every day. I appreciate and try to return that in kind. We are all in this world together.

      Your experience is like mine. I feel like all the conservatives that hate immigrants have never really hung out with them. Yes their cultures can be different but they are neat cultures. There are good and bad immigrants just like any other group of humans but they are overwhelmingly good on average.
