The illegal-Mexico employees are safely inside the tractor, completely closed, with specialty uniforms &amp; masks on, hauling the trailer with the poison used. I have personally called each company involved and NEVER received a returned call regarding this horrible, life threatening situation. I am concerned for my families health &amp; life, as for over 12 years, they get sick way to often, and have very bad coughs, runny noses, and little strength. I informed our local government officials, but nothing has been done over these years. Whatever I may do to have this stopped, please let me know.
