Yep it happens every where. Horse people are the poorest payers as far as
wages goes. I think it is a known fact world wide that the horse industry
is the worst as far as wages goes.
So I think as far as the US goes with illegals is much the samew as
anywhere. A local says he will not work for that money so they get
someone
who will. And in some cases it could be and illegal imagrant.
So in a way everyone is to blame not just employers.
