My farm is in need of more workers, and I'm wondering what legal channels exist for me to bring people from other countries and force them to work on my farm?

There is no lawful way to "force" people to work on your farm. Existing U.S. labor laws regulate the terms and conditions of employment, and failure to follow these laws carries severe penalties including criminal liability. You may need permission from the U.S. Department of Labor or USDA prior to hiring non-citizens for seasonal agricultural jobs depending on what country they are from and whether it is a special immigration program - however even with this authorization, you cannot "force" them to work by violating immigration or employment laws..

This blog cannot provide legal advice and this type of inquiry is beyond the scope of what should be discussed in a public forum. However, as an exercise in creative thought, it may be possible to use loopholes in immigration law to bring foreign workers onto your farm. An experienced immigration lawyer would know more about how best to go about this.
