“Emilio Hernandez, a native of Hidalgo, Mexico, is one of 24 migrant workers picking strawberries here at the farm of Rhonda Poche, who grows 16 acres of strawberries at the farm her grandfather started in 1926. Emilio’s employment was secured under the H2A program, a temporary guest worker initiative that farmers like Poche have come to rely upon to get their crops out of the fields.
Like his 23 co-workers, Hernandez works in the United States but lives in Mexico. And he and other migrant workers all across the country are now caught in a federal crossfire that could tighten restrictions on who can work and live in the United States.”
