This photo provided by Texas RioGrande Legal Aid shows H-2A farmworker housing in Plains, Texas, in 2021. If employers charge for housing or if it's substandard, federal officials can order them to pay back wages and penalties. Labor advocates are worried that many workers are being cheated. They’re also concerned that investigations by the Labor Department — which has special oversight over guest workers — aren’t keeping pace with a dramatic increase in workers.
