Pa. agriculture industry seeks USDA reform after poultry worker arrests
Original: Pa. ag industry lobbying USDA, Congress for reform after Melhorn poultry worker arrests
Pennsylvania's agriculture industry is lobbying the USDA and Congress for immigration and labor policy reform following the arrests of poultry workers at Melhorn. Industry groups argue current enforcement disrupts the workforce that processing plants depend on, and are pressing federal lawmakers for changes that would secure a stable legal labor supply for the state's agricultural sector.
Why now: The arrests have reignited debate over immigration enforcement and the agricultural labor shortage in a major farming state.
