Immigration Reform and the American Apple Industry
Testimony from a congressional hearing on immigration reform suggests that the H2 visa system is being manipulated to favor large agricultural conglomerates. An industry representative warns that if the U.S. apple industry is starved of labor, China—which already produces half the world's apples—is ready to take over the market. The hosts argue that immigration policy is being used as a distraction while American agriculture is outsourced.
