6. Problem is most of these workers live on the property.

If the food you consume from a private farmer is regulated, why shouldn't the farmers use of workers be regulated.

If the Supreme Court thinks this is a violation of the 4th Amendment, then do police need a search warrant to walk onto any private persons' property, every and anytime?

If a Union Labor advocate, walks on a property to ask a few questions and talk to the workers to make sure their rights are not being violated or to make sure they are not being held in slavery or indentured servitude, how is that a problem.

If farmers treat their workers so well, what are they afraid of, and why don't they support jail time for employers of illegal workers. Most of the farm workers are the most vulnerable of our society, for worker exploitation.

You could say well let the department of labor handle it, and I'd say you have an organization doing this free from tax dollars, the local unions.
