Farm issue speaker urges market driven immigrant visa plan
Bert Lemkes of Van Wingerden Greenhouse, Mills River, argues for a legal, market driven visa system to supply agricultural labor. He notes 70 percent of Hendersonville’s workforce is undocumented, stresses that starting pay is above minimum and that immigration reform should be flexible, portable, and employer friendly to sustain the supply chain and protect American jobs.
