Farmers Encourage Immigration Reform With Protest-Cleveland

[johnnie]

"In the midst of the national immigration debate, a group of Ohio farmers and nursery owners are gathered at Cleveland's West Side Market for immigration reform, NewsChannel5 reported.


Members of the Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association are calling for legislation that protects Ohio's farmers, the labor needed to keep Ohio farms strong and affordable food prices.

The farmers set up a stand at the market to show the prices of fruits and vegetables if all illegal immigrants are deported. They said the prices would increase so the stand included apples priced at $5 each, a cob of corn for $2 and $5 green peppers."
