Pop Quiz: Guess the Country

According to a 2005 study, 50 percent of these foreigners working in this country
are illegal, they form 60 percent of their seasonsal agricultural workforce, 50 percent live without running water, 40 percent live in
abandoned buildings, and 75 percent contract a chronic disease due
their living conditions. They’re paid about 20 USD a day for 12 hours
of work.

Which country am I?

See this article for more information.
