Media hora al sur de Miami, en los Redlands, el paisaje cambia totalmente. Apenas a unos 50 kilómetros del lujoso Brickell y la famosa Calle 8 y Pequeña Habana, y tras pasar los suburbios del suroeste del condado, aparecen vastos campos de cultivos que se pierden en el horizonte. Los viveros de plantas ornamentales, como orquídeas, arecas y palmas de todos tipos aparecen uno tras otro a ambos lados de las avenidas y calles principales, con carteles que anuncian “nursery” —como se llama en inglés a los viveros, pero que los pobladores de la zona, en su mayoría inmigrantes centroamericanos que trabajan en el campo, llaman “nurserías”.

00:36Nobody feels safe when they hear the word ice.
00:38Even the documented
00:40people.
00:42We know that the neighborhood is full of
00:44a combination of
00:46those with and without documents.
00:48And there's always rumors.
00:50Even a rumor can start and it will keep people home.
00:52So
00:54it affects
00:56everything that we do.
00:58If they don't harvest within
01:00two or three days then the crop is
01:02sunburned or over mature or breaking
01:04a different color or the market
01:06changes.
01:08So with the vegetable crops it's
01:10very critical and still we need the labor
01:12when we need the labor or else we'll miss
01:14things. We'll fall behind
01:16and the investments are already put
01:18in months,
01:20sometimes years ago.
01:22because they have more mountains.
01:34Well, practically
01:36they don't get up in the morning and they get up
01:38with fear.
01:40Because
01:42many people can go home
01:44and probably
01:46we'll go back.
01:47And I think that's
01:48the concern of
01:49all people
01:50who come to work in the morning
01:51to the fields
01:52I think
01:53that if
01:54this is going to be like
01:55many ranchers
01:56will lose
01:57a lot of
01:58harvesters.
01:59Especially right now
02:00the U.V.
02:01The U.V. will lose
02:02because there will not be
02:03people who want to go
02:04to work.
02:05And all the ranchers
02:06are missing
02:07to work.
02:17Well,
02:18at the moment
02:19where I'm working
02:21they come
02:22with fear
02:23but they come
02:24to work
02:25because they need
02:26the money.
02:27Most Mexicans
02:29work
02:30anywhere
02:31and
02:32there are a lot
02:33and the
02:34gringos
02:35they say
02:37they don't work
02:38in the construction
02:39less
02:40in the field.
