    I have worked several fruit farms. Yes it’s hard work. You do get used to it but of course it requires fitness /flexibility that is harder with age. But I’ve also worked in factories which was hard too.

    Immigrants may work these jobs because, like non immigrants, they’re desperate. You can find yourself working with people with serious qualifications for better jobs - because they’re desperate.

    “Taking our jobs” is just a trope.
