Yeah that's great, except the process to get that permit is not simple, and they still have to get past the border - and past all the angry anti-immigrant people who demand that they go back to their own country. It's also a problem because many farmers aren't all that fussy about who picks the oranges off their trees. They hire a contractor, who hires a guy with a truck, who loads up a bunch of people at a designated stop and brings them in for the day. Then delivers them back to that designated stop at the end of the day. The farmer doesn't know, and doesn't want to know, and doesn't care if the worker is documented or not. They only care that the worker gets the quota required.
