Can you explain why employers higher illegal Mexican immigrants for agricultural jobs in the US?
<|assistant|>
Employers hire illegal Mexican immigrants for agricultural jobs in the US because they are often willing to work for low wages, in difficult and labor-intensive conditions, with limited job protections and benefits. Employers know that these workers have limited legal protections and that they will be more likely to accept lower wages or to work under conditions that would likely be unacceptable or illegal for US citizens. Additionally, due to immigration policies, it can be difficult for these employers to find legal workers for these jobs, making illegal immigrants an necessary and often preferred source of labor.
