If the gentleman will yield for a response. the fact is that it has varied. Generally where there are contracts with unions. then the grower will rely on that union to supply the labor. The reality is that a part even of the crew that is provided by the union may indeed be illegal and yet be working under the unions guide. Where there is no union contract. then many employers will reach out to what are called labor contractors to provide crews. again largely made up in many instances of illegal immigrants. That is why. from the evidence we have. 50 to 80 percent of many of the crews that are provided either by union or by nonunion groups are made up of illegal aliens.
