Farmers fear Congress might crack down on illegal labor

Rob Hotakainen | McClatchy Newspapers

last updated: July 29, 2011 07:22:43 PM

BURLINGTON, Wash. — If you buy strawberry Haagen-Dazs ice cream, Steve Sakuma says, there's an 80 percent chance that you're going to get his berries, grown on some of the richest black soil in America, in northern Washington state, about 50 miles from the Canadian border.

And he says there's a very good chance that you'd get berries handpicked by illegal immigrants, too.

Wearing designer blue jeans and sunglasses, Sakuma, who's 65, surveyed his 250-acre strawberry plot outside Burlington earlier this month, pointing to 231 employees, most of them from Mexico, who were crouched down handpicking the fruit under a hot morning sun. He estimated that 80 percent of them were in the country illegally, even though they'd provided him with the necessary documents.

Like throngs of other farmers nationwide who rely on illegal labor to harvest their crops, Sakuma fears that Congress doesn't understand the complexities of his operations. He said he'd promptly go out of business if lawmakers forced employers to electronically verify the immigration status of their employees. And he urged members of Congress to consider the ramifications carefully first.

NEWS TO SAKUMA WHO KNOWINGLY BREAKS THE LAWS AND HIRES ILLEGALS, IN CALIFORNIA: TWO-THIRDS OF ALL ILLEGAL FARM WORKERS END UP ON WELFARE (SEE BOTTOM FOR CASE STUDY ON THAT “CHEAP” LABOR)

"These illegal immigrants, or whatever you want to call them, have been around for a long time," Sakuma said. "And guess what? They're not bad. They're just making a living. They're here doing what other people won't do. If you think that white America is going to come out here and pick these strawberries, you have been living in the dark for a long time."

While farmers worry about the effects of a federal crackdown on illegal immigrants, backers of legislation that would require verification say it would finally force employers to operate legally and would represent a major first step in fixing the nation's tattered immigration system.

Freshman Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington state said a mandatory verification program would ensure that those who applied for jobs in the United States were "legally able" to take them while keeping employers accountable for their hiring.

"The federal government has a constitutional responsibility to defend our borders," Herrera Beutler said. "Unfortunately, for years it has failed to live up to that responsibility."

Mike Shelby, the executive director of the Western Washington Agricultural Association, said many producers in the state faced circumstances similar to Sakuma: "They're all vulnerable. .... We all agree that immigration reform needs to take place, but we have to be very careful how we approach it. Because if the first thing you do is interrupt the flow of labor for agriculture, you're taking an industry and putting it at tremendous risk."

For Sakuma, the answer is obvious: Allow the workers, who are paid by the pound for their strawberry picking and earn an average of more than $10 an hour this season, to become legal Americans.

"You call that amnesty or whatever you want to call it, it's just the right thing to do," he said. "We're responsible citizens, and we'll do what we believe is right, but change the damn law. That's the issue. Make it right."

About 270,000 businesses use the federal E-Verify program voluntarily, and backers say that number could jump to nearly 6 million if it became mandatory.

President Barack Obama endorsed the idea at a White House news conference in late June, saying he'd support requiring the use of E-Verify "if it's not riddled with errors" and if it's part of a comprehensive overhaul of immigration laws.

While several pieces of legislation dealing with E-Verify have been introduced in the current Congress, the main bill is sponsored by Republican Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He objects to the president's strategy, saying V-Verify is important enough to stand alone.

Smith's bill, called the Legal Workforce Act, would require all employers to use the national database to confirm that workers are legal. He said it would open up millions of jobs for unemployed Americans. According to Smith, there are 24 million Americans who are unemployed or underemployed, while there are 7 million illegal immigrants working in the country.

"It is not an immigration bill, it's a jobs bill," he said.

Sakuma, one of eight owners of the Sakuma Brothers Farms, said farmers wanted a legal workforce "as much as anyone else" but that the system clearly was broken.

To make the point, he told a story about how his farm was raided a few years back by federal authorities, who found that some of his employees were in the country illegally.

"They hauled them down to the border," Sakuma said. "Three days later, they were standing in our office, but they had a different name and a different Social Security number."

Sakuma said he consulted with two immigration lawyers in Seattle: "Both of them told me the same thing. 'You have no choice but to hire them back. If they provide you with a name and they provide you a Social Security number, you have no choice but to believe them.' "

With so many politicians talking about border security, Sakuma worries that Congress will pass the mandatory E-Verify legislation. He just wants members to consider the consequences on farmers across the country.

"It's a tough issue. It's very complex, very complicated and it's very politicized," Sakuma said. "And I understand politics. But is that really what you want? If they had E-Verify here, you'd shut us down. Absolutely."

REP. LAMAR SMITH HAS CONSISTENTLY AND OPENLY VOICED OPPOSITION TO OBAMA’S ASSAULT ON OUR BORDERS AND JOBS… even as most politicians HISPANDER for the illegals’ ILLEGAL VOTES.

Arrests of illegal immigrant workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009. REP. LAMAR SMITH

The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.

State budget cuts to be felt by illegal immigrants

As the state Legislature looks for ways to close a $5 billion budget shortfall, lawmakers are eyeing millions in cuts that could reduce or eliminate services used by illegal immigrants. Washington is projected to spend more than $300 million over the next two years on services illegal immigrants can tap, primarily welfare and health care for children, the seriously ill and pregnant women.

Illegal immigrants and state programs

Washington state estimates it will spend more than $300 million over the next two years on services illegal immigrants can tap, not counting K-12 education. A breakdown:

 

“Through love of having children, we are going to take over.”  AUGUSTIN CEBADA, BROWN BERETS, THE LA RAZA FASCIST PARTY

$125 million on health care for 7,400 pregnant women ineligible for Medicaid because they can't prove they are here legally. This program can't be changed, because of federal restrictions.
 

*

$73 million on welfare for children. The federal government requires proof that the children are here legally, but not their parents. This program also can't be changed.

*

$59 million for medical and dental coverage for 25,000 children from low-income families ineligible for Medicaid because they can't prove they are here legally.

*

$24 million for kidney dialysis and cancer treatment for 1,300 low-income people ineligible for Medicaid because they can't prove they are here legally.

*

$15 million for in-state tuition subsidies for students who have lived in Washington for at least three years. The state does not check legal status.

*

$5.6 million in nursing-home care for low-income undocumented residents.

OLYMPIA — As the Legislature looks for ways to close a $5 billion budget shortfall, lawmakers are examining millions in cuts that could reduce or eliminate services used by illegal immigrants.

Lawmakers already have passed a law that effectively limits the state Basic Health Plan for the working poor to legal residents.

The state estimates around 10,000 people, roughly 18 percent of those on the plan, will lose state-subsidized insurance because they cannot prove they're here legally. It's expected to save $59 million over two years.

As part of a much broader budget-cutting plan, Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire also has recommended eliminating a health-care program for children who can't prove they're here legally.

In both cases, Democrats say the moves were made to save money and were not related to who was using the program. Gregoire's office noted her proposed budget eliminated services used by everyone, regardless of legal status.

Overall, Washington is projected to spend more than $300 million over the next two years on services that illegal immigrants can tap, primarily welfare for children and health care for children, the seriously ill and pregnant women. However, programs that account for most of that spending are effectively off-limits to budget cuts, because of federal restrictions.

Sen. Joe Zarelli, ranking Republican on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, says the Legislature should take a closer look at spending on illegal immigrants.

"We've got to question whether we can afford to have state-only programs that only serve illegal-immigrant populations," said Zarelli, of Ridgefield, Clark County.

Some Republicans have proposed limiting services to people who can prove they are here legally. Democrats, who control the Legislature, say budget cuts should not single out anyone.

Senate Ways and Means Chairman Ed Murray, D-Seattle, said he'll oppose any efforts to target services used by illegal residents. But he noted the reality is "every program is going to be cut because of the fiscal crisis. Everybody gets cut."

Lawmakers over the years have set up several programs specifically for residents who have not or cannot prove legal residency. Exactly how much the state spends on illegal immigrants is not known because some people in these programs may be here legally, even though they haven't provided documentation.

Advocates for such programs contend eliminating health-care services for illegal immigrants could cost more in the long run, in part because they end up in emergency rooms where care is more expensive.

Fatima Morales, with the Washington Community Action network, said proposals that target illegal immigrants — aside from ignoring the fact that they do pay taxes — are immoral.

"Everyone deserves access to health care, to services, to have a decent life," she said. "It's the humane thing to do. It's the morally right thing to do."

Ricardo Sanchez, director of Sea Mar's Latino/a Educational Achievement Project, also argues that illegal immigrants are critical to the economy, particularly in agriculture.

"That's what's missing in this whole debate about all this 'don't serve illegal immigrants and keep them out of schools and don't let them have access to college,' " he said.

Some numbers not solid

The next two-year budget could affect all immigrants without documentation of legal status, although much of the discussion involves the impact on Hispanics — the state's largest and fastest-growing minority, with more than 755,000 residents, according to the 2010 census.

It's not known how many people of all nationalities and ethnicities are in Washington illegally.

There's also a dearth of comprehensive research comparing benefits states provide that illegal immigrants can tap. Services appear to vary by state. But Washington is not unique, at least in some of its offerings.

For example, Massachusetts, comparable to Washington in population, provides many of the same social services for illegal immigrants, including health care for children as well as kidney dialysis and cancer treatment for adults.

The Congressional Budget Office in 2007 published a report on the impact of "unauthorized immigrants" on state and local budgets nationally. The study concluded that a small proportion of spending on state and local services went to undocumented residents.

But the analysis, which reviewed 29 reports published over 15 years, also said tax revenues generated by those residents "do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants."

Washington state has made only a quick estimate of state expenses. Roughly half of tax revenues are generated by the sales tax, which everyone pays, including illegal immigrants.

The state is expected to spend more than $100 million over two years on services the Legislature has the authority to change or eliminate, including $59 million for medical and dental care for more than 25,000 children from low-income families. The children are not eligible for Medicaid because there's no proof they're here legally.

An additional $24 million is expected to be spent for kidney dialysis and cancer treatment for about 1,300 people ineligible for Medicaid because they also can't prove they're legal residents.

Millions more will go to in-state tuition subsidies for college students and nursing-home care.

The state also expects to spend about $200 million over two years on two other programs that officials say the state can't change due to federal restrictions. Those programs receive federal matching dollars, and changing them could put overall federal Medicaid funding at risk, state officials said.

One program, projected to cost $125 million, provides health care to about 7,400 pregnant women ineligible for Medicaid because they have not shown they're here legally. The service is provided, in part, because their newborn children will be U.S. citizens. The other program provides welfare payments for children, estimated at $73 million. The federal government requires proof that the children are here legally, but not their parents.

When it comes to K-12 education, the state does not track how many undocumented children attend public schools, and federal case law requires states to provide an education to all children, despite citizenship status.

Lawmakers from both parties have said there are services used by illegal immigrants that would not be eliminated.

While Zarelli questions a lot of state spending on services for illegal immigrants, he said he would not cut funding for kidney dialysis and cancer treatment:

"That's something you shouldn't pull the plug on. It would be inhumane."

HOW DOES OBAMA BUY THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES… ONE LIE and ONE ILLEGAL AT A TIME!

MORE OBAMA DREAM ACTS of WELFARE for ILLEGALS?

REP. LAMAR SMITH for PRESIDENT


"We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs taken by illegal workers," said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. "President Obama is on the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws."  REP. LAMAR SMITH

THE MEXICAN  BREEDERS….

February 1, 2011
By Lornet Turnbull

They clean the floors of swanky office towers downtown, pick wine grapes in Wenatchee and wash dishes in Belltown restaurants.

An estimated 230,000 illegal immigrants were living in Washington state last year — 35 percent more than three years earlier, according to a new report by the Pew Hispanic Center.

The total represents one of every 20 workers in the state and nearly 5 percent of all residents — giving Washington the seventh-highest rate of illegal immigrants in the country. (Nevada has the highest rate.) Three years ago, Washington wasn't in the top 10.

Researchers at Pew Hispanic, a project of the nonpartisan Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C., used the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey data as a basis for the report.
They found that nationwide, illegal immigrants numbered 11.2 million, virtually unchanged from 2009 and down from a peak 12 million in 2007. Many have attributed the slide to more immigration enforcement and a weaker economy.
While 57 percent are from Mexico, the illegal immigrants hail from across the world, including Canada. They include people who sneaked across the country's borders, as well as those who came legally but overstayed employment, student or visitor visas.


Continued failure by the federal government to address the nation's immigration problems has led states to find fixes of their own.

All but Washington, New Mexico and Utah now deny driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, and some believe that has made Washington a magnet.

This year, state lawmakers here have introduced an unprecedented number of bills aimed at immigrants — legal and illegal — and several proposed cuts to the state budget would hit them hard.
There are measures that would make it difficult, if not impossible, for illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, make English the state's official language and require the Department of Employment Security to verify the legal status of those it refers for employment.

In addition, a group of residents, for the sixth straight year, will circulate petitions for an initiative to severely restrict benefits and services to illegal immigrants in the state.


Uriel Iñiguez, director of the state's Commission on Hispanic Affairs, said the fact that the illegal immigrant population nationally hasn't declined shows people aren't going anywhere.
"It's one of the arguments I make all the time — passing laws won't prevent people from being here undocumented," Iñiguez said.  

Even with the restrictions on driver's licenses, he said, "we've not seen an entire outflow of people to wherever they are from. What these laws do, however, is drive this population further underground."  


State Sen. Val Stevens, R-Arlington, sponsor of several of the bills, said the state needs to act, since the federal government hasn't.

She said the illegal-immigrant cost to the state is $272 million a biennium for such functions as social services, health and corrections. "The illegal-immigration problem really came to the forefront after what happened in Arizona," Stevens said. "It's the lack of a secure border. If we can't keep them out of our country what's the point?"

Washington and New Mexico to Continue Issuing Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens

Two states last week took affirmative steps to continue issuing driver's licenses to illegal aliens. In New Mexico, despite a push from Governor Susana Martinez to tighten the state's lax licensing laws, the state Senate passed a bill last Wednesday which continues to allow illegal aliens to obtain driving privileges. (Reuters, Mar. 10, 2011; HB 78) The bill does increase the residency requirement for any foreign national to acquire a driver's license in New Mexico from three to six months. (HB 78) It also requires illegal aliens to reapply for a license every two years and increases penalties for falsified documentation. (HB 78)

Governor Martinez expressed disappointment after the Senate vote. "I promised the people of New Mexico that I will fight to repeal this law and that fight will continue," she said. (Id.) Senate supporters, however, felt their actions were sufficient. "If it's really about toughening the current law, then we did it," said state Senator Eric Griego. (Id.) The Senator did admit that the Senate bill is unlikely to pass through New Mexico's House of Representatives, leaving room for a continued debate on licensing illegal aliens in New Mexico. (Id.)

Similarly, the Washington state Senate killed a bill last Monday which would have banned driver's licenses to illegal aliens. (Fox News, Mar. 8, 2011) The bill also included other measures designed to reduce identification theft in the state. (SB 5407) The Washington Senate defeated the bill in a procedural motion, but state Senator Mary Margaret Haugen said that she will lobby the state's governor to provide support for the issue. "Nothing is ever dead in the Legislature," Haugen, a chief sponsor of the bill, said after the vote. "I'd ask the governor that she needs to stand and take leadership in this role. She needs to recognize what's happening in this nation." (Fox News, Mar. 8, 2011) The Senator expressed great concern on the rampant identification fraud taking place in her state. She noted that there are 300,000 more driver's licenses in Washington than there are drivers. (Id.)

Washington Governor Chris Gregoire has said that she would sign a bill that bans the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal aliens if it passed through the legislature. Currently New Mexico, Washington and Utah are the only states in the U.S. to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens. Roughly 83,000 foreign nationals hold driver's licenses in New Mexico alone.

Massive firings in Brewster, and a big debate about illegal immigration

By Melissa Sánchez

Yakima Herald-Republic

BREWSTER, Okanogan County — The letters came on a Wednesday, hand-delivered to hundreds of field and warehouse workers two days before Christmas.

Each contained a four-sentence explanation beneath the company's letterhead.

Federal immigration authorities had alerted Gebbers Farms that a number of its employees' hiring forms were suspect. Unless those employees could prove they were in this country legally, the company would let them go.

Many couldn't. Like the vast majority of America's agricultural work force, they were illegal immigrants who used fake documents to get jobs picking and packing fruit, in this case in and around this small town on the Columbia River north of Wenatchee.

Five days later, the company dismissed an estimated 550 workers — equal to about a quarter of Brewster's population. It was the biggest firing of its kind ever seen in Washington. And former workers say the letters and firings are still coming.

What's happened at Gebbers Farms has been felt far beyond this shaken community. It's raising worries about more audits and firings across Central Washington, where much of the agricultural economy depends on an illegal work force.

"If the entire industry was audited it'd be impossible to fill all of the jobs," says Mike Gempler, executive director of the Washington Growers League.

With the firings, the complexity of illegal immigrants in the work force becomes starkly clear.

Other immigrants — some legal and some not — have learned of the sudden job openings and are arriving to fill the void. Some of the applicants may not be new at all.

"I was thinking about changing the Social Security number I use and reapplying," says Antonio Sanchez, a 51-year-old former Gebbers orchard worker. "I don't know what to do."

Five generations of the Gebbers family have farmed here along the Columbia River. The company runs more than 5,000 acres of apples and cherries, including one of the world's largest contiguous orchards. Its products are marketed internationally.

"This town exists because of them," says Esteban Camacho, who manages a local bakery and like most Mexican immigrants here has worked for Gebbers.

By most accounts, the company is well thought of. It built housing and soccer fields for its workers and, unlike many other growers, provides stable year-round work.

Rumors about the firings abound in Brewster, but details remain scarce.

Lorie Dankers, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Seattle, says she can't say anything about the incident at Gebbers or even confirm her agency conducted an audit.

Industry officials say ICE has audited a half-dozen smaller Washington growers in recent years. The only other known massive firing prompted by an ICE audit was last year at American Apparel, a Los Angeles-based garment company.

ICE first notified Gebbers in 2008 that it had been audited and that it needed to take action, according to industry officials. Gebbers acknowledged the audit in a brief statement dated the day of the firings. The statement closed with: "Gebbers Farms will continue to welcome workers of all backgrounds with proper work authorization."

Since then, company officials have declined to speak publicly about the situation. Even Brewster's mayor says he's had trouble finding out what happened.

Obama shift to audits

What happened at Gebbers reflects a change in strategy under President Obama's administration, which is shifting ICE's focus away from targeting illegal immigrants and instead focusing on those who hire them.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform, which favors tougher enforcement, sees Obama scaling back efforts to crack down on illegal immigration by emphasizing audits instead of workplace raids.

Immigrant-rights advocates call audits the more humane of the two approaches.

"This is not to say this new approach does not create hardship," says Matt Adams, legal adviser for the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project in Seattle. "But I think if the government is going to enforce the laws that are on the books, they should be given credit for doing it in a way that is not tearing families apart."

Thirty-three Washington companies were audited last year, and ICE spokeswoman Dankers says employers can expect more to come.

"We know that changing the behavior of employers to ensure they hire a legal work force doesn't happen overnight," she says. "We want employers to know that regardless of size and industry or your location and the type of business you have, the federal government expects these businesses to comply with the law."

Few growers will speak openly about the issue. Bob Brody, who owns King Blossom Natural, a 344-acre organic apple orchard in Brewster, is one of them.

"What happened at Gebbers — it fries my brain sometimes," says Brody, adding that he shouldn't have to verify whether a worker's status is legitimate.

He says every one of his employees, except for his office manager, is Latino. "Americans don't stop by and ask for jobs right now," Brody says. "There is a 10 percent unemployment rate. And I've not had a single U.S. American stop by and ask for a job."

On many evenings, the conversation between Daniel and Angelica Aguilar turns to just that. The recently dismissed couple and their toddler daughter live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment near the center of Brewster.

"During the cherry-picking season, there's maybe 2,200 of us working in the orchards," says Daniel Aguilar, 26. "Of those, there wasn't a single white American.

"Why does it bother them that we're doing the work they don't want to do?"

In part, the Gebbers firings have produced the desired effect. Of the dozen or so families in Brewster interviewed by the Yakima Herald-Republic, about half say they plan to return to Mexico. And everybody knew someone who had already left.

"What's the point of staying? There are no jobs," says one woman, who identified herself only as Mariela in fear of being deported.

"Fight the good fight"

But for every illegal immigrant who leaves, there seems to be another one willing to risk his luck.

Before dawn one recent foggy Tuesday, groups of men waited in the cold for Gebbers vans to pick them up for work pruning apple trees.

"I just got a job here," says one young man who came from Los Angeles after learning about the sudden openings. He would not identify himself.

The others laughed nervously. "Are there supposed to be more audits?" one called out, before saying he needed to find a better Social Security number.

The presence of new workers who are here illegally has created some resentment among those who were laid off. But some have a hard time blaming their fellow countrymen.

"It's not their fault they're working," says Janeth Hernandez, who doesn't know how her family will make the rent this month. "They have to fight the good fight, too, just like us."

The December firings clearly disrupted the Gebbers operation, says Dan Fazio, the Washington State Farm Bureau's director of employment services.

"It's wrong for the administration to be doing raids or ... audits without investing time and energy into a functional guest-worker program," says Fazio, noting that growers can't compete with lower wages in Chile and China.

ICE encourages the companies it audits to use the federal E-Verify system, which allows employers to check whether new hires are legally authorized to work, Dankers says.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which operates E-Verify, says no companies in Brewster use it. Industry leaders say most growers are reluctant because the program won't give them an answer they like.

And in politically conservative Eastern Washington, that doesn't gain them many supporters. Some people, including the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and Grassroots on Fire, blame the growers for attracting illegal immigrants.

"They want the illegals to disappear and they want the employers that hire illegals to be put in jail," the farm bureau's Fazio says. "We want to assure these people that farmers don't want illegals more than any other citizen ...

"But when you ask these people, 'Do you want to have your apples from China?' they always respond, 'No, we'd like American apples.' "

U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, says it doesn't have to be an either-or issue.

"First we have to realize that we have to secure our borders," Hastings says. "The nature of our agriculture industry requires a migrant labor force, and ... the best way to address that is with a workable guest-worker program."

Few Washington growers use the current guest-worker program, which they consider expensive and cumbersome.

The Growers League, meanwhile, supports a bill that would create a path toward legal status for agricultural workers as well as revise the guest-worker program.

"Most difficult times"

In Brewster, the next six weeks will see a tense waiting game for former Gebbers employees. The company has given those who live in a series of camps deep inside its orchards until the end of March to vacate. School officials are bracing for the loss of state funding that comes with each of the children of the fired workers. Food-bank volunteers say they're seeing plenty of new faces.

Despite what happened, few former employees complain about the company. They just want their jobs back. The rumor these days is that in March they'll be rehired.

"Fifteen years I've worked for this company," says one man, who declined to give his name for fear of losing his housing. "I still have some hope that maybe by March everything will get sorted out. In the meantime, these are the most difficult times."
