Crop pickers should make $20+/hr, as should everyone. Relying on underpaid illegal labor forces only helps other corporations to underpay their workers too. We need living wages.

Oh, it gets worse.

Federal law currently allows the agency to issue certificates that let employers pay certain workers less than the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour based on the notion that their disabilities hinder productivity.

As things currently stand, many disabled people work in what are called sheltered workshops run by certified employers that pay as little as 25 cents an hour.

25 cents. What more could you want?
