Dianne Feinstein, California Agricultural Labor Audits
Senator Dianne Feinstein questioned Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano regarding ICE audits of California farms, expressing concern that arresting undocumented workers would decimate the state's agricultural industry. Feinstein argued that the labor force is almost entirely undocumented and that current immigration laws provide no viable legal alternatives for farmers. The exchange is characterized as a plea to stop enforcing immigration laws against major agricultural interests.
