Can you explain why employers higher illegal Mexican immigrants for agricultural jobs in the US?
<|assistant|>
Employers may choose to hire illegal Mexican immigrants for agricultural jobs in the US because they are often willing to work for low wages, have a strong work ethic, and may have some familiarity with agricultural processes and practices from their home country. Additionally, the US Department of Agriculture estimates that the illegal immigrant population represents 65-75% of the available labor force for certain agricultural jobs.
