It sounded like farm picker migration from Mexico was on hold - no visas. But recent news suggest maybe not. Mexico could shut it down too - or might have a better time breaking their constitution to not allow their citizens back in on the way home.

Either way I would bet that with millions out of work unable to pay rent a backbreaking job sounds better than nothing. Especially if so much food is at stake send in the national guard if can't get enough bodies.
