Important NBC report on the shortage of farmworkers in California. Terrible for our state's agricultural economy!http://nbcnews.to/2uovuXc
9 of 10 Calif. farmworkers are immigrants. At least 5 in 10 are undocumented. My bill provides legal status:http://bit.ly/2vPd3Mr

We applaud Senator Feinstein and Senator Harris for their efforts to mold immigration policy to support our Central Valley growers.

I work for a valley grower. Kinda important to have enough labor! Without our farmworkers, we either starve or pay a fortune for our food.

I'm sorry but contrary to modern liberal, progressive belief, the Constitution of the United States gives no legal rights to foreigners.

It still amazes me that you use the term undocumented, the correct term is Illegal! California needs to only allow legal /temporary workers

I hope congress will pass this bill. It's a sin to see all that produce just wasting in the field so many people really could use it.

True. And not only that: prices will skyrocket.

So California big Ag can continue to exploit cheap illegal labor for big profits and pay large tax revenues to the state?
