Immigrants help power America's economy. Will election value or imperil them?
The ranch in remote eastern Nevada produces around 10,000 tons of hay annually, and combines cowboy culture with a dash of Manifest Destiny. Rabbits, gophers and the occasional badger always outnumber humans and the nighttime sky is dark enough to count the stars.
But the Bakers' business couldn't survive without an agricultural guest worker program that brings in Mexican immigrants for about nine months a year to help harvest crops in fields where temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius).
«When people complain that foreign workers are taking their jobs, I roll my eyes,» said Janille Baker, who manages the ranch's accounting. «In any industry, everybody's trying to find help. So this anti-immigration stance doesn't really make sense to me. If everyone needs workers, how are you planning to fill those jobs?»
The ranch follows federal rules that require advertising available positions and making them available first to US citizens. But in the last six years, only two Americans called to inquire about jobs. A third trekked out in person, but left after seeing what the work entailed.
