They are needed. We dont have the workers to produce the food here. In the places. This is home to congressman steve king. This town would die. And by the people. Im really scared because i know him. Who fear them the most. Tonight, exploring the undocumented lives in the shadows of america. On mothers day, she wasnt there. [ speaking foreign language] we ask tough questions. If a couple Migrant Workers go in there to have a beer, what would happen . Its not good. And speak with those risking it all to fight. Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime. For everyone whos a valedictorian theres another hundred out there that weigh 130 pounds and theyve got calves the size of cantaloupes because theyre hauling marijuana across the dessert. I wonder if anybody ever questions that. [ speaking foreign language] are there many meamericans w do the work youre doing. No. [ speaking foreign language] undocumented immigrants who are doing the work youre doing. Do your bosses know that youre undocumented . [ speaking foreign language] they dont care . Not important. Not important. Uhhuh. [ speaking foreign language] she told stories about what it was like early in their marriage and how they had this goal of raising this farm and these crops and producing beef cattle and raising their family there, reminding me, she said, that this is not an occupation, this is a lifestyle when you farm. She said that goal has changed so much now just in these past years. She said, my hope right now, our hope right now is to break even. Finally lisa ended by shrugging her shoulders and saying, well, no one ever said this was going to be easy. What is this area like . Its a small town that cares about each other, the community, the greater area. Whats it like to be a farmer these days . Im seeing people struggling, but its not like they can just go out and get another job. This is their lifestyle. I think some people are not quite aware of how bad it is right now. So today he is coming. He is the only one in the United States that is a Mental Health worker for the ag industry. Farming is an incredibly stressful occupation. Why do people farm . Is it just because theyre crazy or are there other reasons . How worried are you about farmers this particular year . Very, very worried. Dairy in particular is really bad. We lost 10 of all dairies in minnesota last year. Its predicted theyre going to lose another 10 this year. Do you ever deal with undocumented workers . Do people like that come to work . Yep, i have. When i talk to farmers that hire them, they honestly believe that they couldnt farm without them, that they would lose their farm without them. So were in a town called worthington, minnesota. Its a small town in the Southwest Corner of the state. Were on our way to st. Marys cla Catholic Church which is a Sanctuary Church for more latino immigrants here in this community. Theres the church right over here. Worthington is a community of about 13,000 people. Within the community of 13,000 people, the Largest Community would be the latino community. One of the things i think its important to remember too that the majority of our People Living here within the document are undocumented. Youve made st. Marys a Sanctuary Church. It was a week after the election of President Trump. You could feel the fear within the community. And that hasnt changed . No. We have Mental Health issues. People are suffering from depression. We have a rise in alcoholism, drug addiction, abuse and domestic violence. And its all a result of whats taking place within our country. There are some people out there who probably think that a lot of these undocumented migrants are getting a free ride here. Theyre not getting a free ride. I talked with one farmer who told me hed rather have a group of immigrants, because you know that when you hire them, theyre going to do their job. So this is worthington, downtown worthington here. This is one of those Latin Grocery stores right here next to this mexican restaurant. I spoke to the owner of that one yesterday. They told me they got here almost 30 years ago. So all these signs are pretty fascinating. These are postings for ranches and farms in the area looking for workers. Its all in spanish. This sign says that they need people to work with chickens. What do you say to those people who say, you know what, all these undocumented immigrants in places like worthington, they need to round them up, get them out of here . What would that do to a place like worthington . If all the immigrants were to leave tomorrow, this town would die. What percentage of undocumented workforce do they depend on . I would say probably 90 . Thats an astounding number. It is. Were on our way to meet with a dairy farmer here in minnesota. Were not sure what were going to get, but hes agreed to meet with us and hes grappling with how much he wants to share about the realities in how the farming and ranching industry really works. Were here. Lets see what happens. Morning. How are you . Im good. We have a dairy farm here with 800 cows, about 15 employees. And ive been in the business for 40 years. You had asked me when i first started farming that this is where i would be, i would have said you were crazy. The topic is hard to talk about, right . Yes, it is. Its hard for any dairy farmer or farmer in general to talk about it in the United States. When we say that were in dire need of more people to help us do the work and we talk about them being immigrants, not a lot of people want to hear that. If we dont have the workers to produce the food here in the United States, the food is going to be produced somewhere else. The reality is much of this workforce on these farms is made up of undocumented immigrants. You can go and google this. Its not a secret that 5070 of farmers in the United States are undocumented. There just arent the people out there that are willing to come and do the farm work. I know this is a delicate question and it puts you in a tough spot. Do you know how many undocumented immigrants you have working for you right now . So heres what ill say. We do the best that we can here on our dairy to make sure that were legal and in compliance. In general, the visa system doesnt work. We have whats called an h 2 a visa which is a visa for temporary farm work. So it works for the fruit and vegetable sector of agriculture, but it doesnt work for the yearround part of agriculture. So for dairy, which is a 7 day a week 365 day a year job to bring a person in on an h 2 a visa, it doesnt work. Coming up, signs of hostility in rural minnesota. So if a couple Migrant Workers go in there to have a beer, what would happen . Its not good. How they live in North Central and western iowa. [ speaking foreign language] and who they work for in new jersey and new york. Im really, really scared when he run for president , because i know him. Can my side be firm . And my side super soft .

We have a group that we started called faces of worthington. Father jim callahan says most of worthington, minnesotas farm workers are undocumented. We bring people from the community and an immigrant together and they share their story. Translator i am from guatemala. These are undocumented immigrants . Yes, undocumented immigrants. [ speaking foreign language] the milk you produce here, where does it end up . In a cheese plant. And a lot of its made into Parmesan Cheese and some of the whey protein concentrates that people eat and drink in their shakes, your high protein shakes that you have. Finding workers who dont quit after one day of grueling work is the hardest part of life on the farm these days. How do you find people to come work for you . Recently i needed to replace a worker and i went on indeed and craigslist and facebook and i had about 2025 people apply. I started to interview and the first one i interviewed i hired her. She was a noshow. Then i tried another person, and same problem. Then i hired another person, worked for four hours and said, this is not what i want to do. And then i hired another person, an able bodied, locally born and bred young man. Youre being nice when you say locally bred, native born, youre talking about white workers here. I am. You said that. A nice young man, but worked eight hours and said, this works too hard for me, i just cant do this. Then i hired another person who actually had a farm background but just couldnt get the job done. There i was, five individuals and i just didnt have a spot filled. So when people hear that phrase that immigrants are doing the work that native born people dont want to do, youve seen it and experienced it firsthand . This wasnt the first time that ive gone through this scenario. He works 120 hours every two weeks and he pays about 300 in taxes are pulled out of every paycheck. [ speaking foreign language] youre not shocked when you hear stories of people who arent paid overtime, people who work 140 hours for a straight salary, you know, job . I would imagine that troubles you. It does trouble me. Its not something that should be done. Part of it is because we dont have enough people here to do the work. So too much is expected of, you know, certain individuals. I would hope that we can fix that, you know, by having an adequate workforce and, you know, to enforce the rules that we have. He says without the undocumented migrants working at the ranch where he works, that the farm would stop working. They would have to stop raising pigs. They get covered in urine and pig waste and it smells rather awful in the areas where he works. [ speaking foreign language] there are a lot of americans who dont want to see undocumented immigrants like yourself in the United States. What do you say to them . [ speaking foreign language] do you feel like a lot of those immigrants are kind of forced to live in the shadows . Oh yes, yeah. Theres racial profiling no matter where youre at. Especially in Rural Communities that arent used to people of a different color moving to town. Where i live was pretty white. He says where he used to live, he had a neighbor who would yell and scream at them and try to get them to move away from the neighborhood they lived in. What did they yell at you . [ speaking foreign language] around here i see a lot of name calling, i see a lot of racism. That has changed so much in these communities in minnesota where you see places that were mostly all white. Its confusing to a lot of people, especially more so than nonfarm people its confusing. What are they all doing here, you know . And they dont know. Its time for your on the go weather. What kind of town are we in . A small farming community, population about 3600 give or take a few. Im the police chief here, started here in july of 1989. You have seen the evolution of this town. Seen the changes, yes. A few decades ago, undocumented immigrants started hearing there was work to be had in a little place called long prairie, minnesota. This is one of the biggest employers in town . Yes, yes. This is a part of Long Prairie Packing here. They just built this new here. When i first started here, everybody who was employed there was white. Thats not the case anymore. People dont like change, but change is going to happen. But not everyones rolling out the welcome mat. We noticed there was a bar downtown. The guy had a big old sign in there that said stop the invasion. What do you make of that guy . I dont know. No comment. He doesnt like me either, so. Do you worry about what that says about the city . You know what . That signs been up there for i dont know how long. I dont think nobody even looks at it and pays attention to it anymore. The mayor didnt want to Pay Attention to it as we walked past the irish bar. I guess which is some of what we were talking about, right . Yeah, a little bit. You didnt want to spend too much time there . [ laughter ] and she warned us about it. So if a couple Migrant Workers go in there to have a beer, what would happen . Its not good. Really . Yeah. Theres a bar in a town not too far from here that has a sign that says stop the invasion. How do you react to that . Im appalled. Do you see a connection to that sign in the window and why nothing has changed when it comes to immigration laws. I do. Its the vocal minority. Steve king is under fire. We head to northwestern iowa.

They say diversity is our strength. I just wonder if anybody ever questions that. Steve kings district here in iowa has 39 counties. In 31 of those counties, the population has actually decreased. In fact, two counties with the highest percentage of latino population are in steve kings district. The only people really moving into these areas in this part of iowa are latino immigrants, either undocumented or documented. I am the associate director. We are the hosts of the grand festival north iowa. There are hundreds of people who come to this festival. Some estimates range even up to a thousand. The majority are from mexico. We dont know for sure how many people are undocumented, but theres definitely a very big portion of the visitors here today. My mom, she end up in this little town hampton and she saw there was a lot of latinos, so she decided to open a mexican store. We all were born in mexico. I was born in mexico and i came to the u. S.
