Kathleen Vinehout: Farmers want their immigrant workers able to obtain licenses

Concerns about immigration and police actions worry farmers whose livelihoods depend on the skills of their devoted workers. "We hire good, hardworking, legal Mexican farm laborers who have families," said one Pierce County farm couple. "They are continuously getting pulled over by police in the morning and receiving tickets for operating without a license." The couple was frustrated that legislative leaders were not taking up a bill to allow undocumented farm workers to get a driver's license.
