5. Migrant workers don't live on the farm 24/7

Even if ICE isn't grabbing them directly out of the fields, they'll get them on the highway, at the local restaurant, at the grocery store, etc.

Unless Trump starts handing out get-out-of-jail-free cards to farm laborers, they'll still be at risk and still be too afraid to show up for work.
