| "States resist checking farmhand documents" |
GLEED, Wash. - Some states are balking at a federal effort to require them to screen potential farm hands for immigration violations before referring them to jobs, another conflict in the long-running dispute over the states' role in immigration enforcement.
Most resent a new rule that didn't come with money to pay for the extra work. Some complain they can't work with the federal verification system. Still others argue that the requirement illegally targets a certain class of workers. |
