Can you explain why employers higher illegal Mexican immigrants for agricultural jobs in the US?
<|assistant|>
Illegal Mexican immigrants are hired for agricultural jobs in the United States because they are often willing to accept lower wages than U.S. citizens, have an available labor pool and are legal in the U.S. Employers often feel that they can provide cheap and reliable labor that way and thus it can be an attractive business decision. The U.S. labor force is largely restricted by labor regulations and minimum wage requirements which makes it harder for some employers to find workers willing to do these types of jobs. As such, some employers may find it beneficial to take advantage of an accessible population of potential workers in order to remain competitive. Additionally, since most illegal Mexican immigrants have no fear of deportation or being questioned by authorities, it can allow employers to hire them more readily than other unskilled workers.
