they're sure trying to create an upheaval by posting a fact based piece on apple picking migrant workers...no matter how much US agenda based news organizations tell you, Al Jazeera is not the mouth of the terrorist networks, and is not out to get you. it's actually one of the most globally recognized and respected news organizations around the world, but we would never know that living in the US.

valuable fruit would not be left hanging on the trees if the farmers paid a living wage. resident worker programs = slave wages
