Farmworkers Fear Deportation, Hope for Reform | Fresno News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

A new UFW Foundation survey reveals that 90% of California’s farmworkers—most undocumented and living in fear—say immigration enforcement has directly impacted their jobs. Despite federal agencies sometimes avoiding high-profile raids at farms, the threat of detention and deportation looms large, especially after recent cannabis farm raids that led to 300+ arrests and a death. Yet amid these pressures, workers show remarkable resilience: many have lived in the U.S. for years, built specialized skills, and deeply care for their communities. If immigration reform passed, 87% would visit family, and over a third would engage more with their children’s schools—proof of their yearning for stability, dignity, and full participation in society.
