Keith Eckel video - on immigration

Thanks to whoever posted this on Youtube. From the Youtube descriptor:
Pennsylvania farmer Keith Eckel of Lackawanna County, the largest producer of fresh market tomatoes in Pennsylvania discusses why he will no longer grow labor intensive food.
Mr. Eckel will discuss how the lack of a reliable immigrant farm worker program has impacted his farm enterprise and will affect Pennsylvania's economy, agriculture, agribusiness and our nation's food supply

This is very sad and unfortunately most american will never see this on the network news.
The long term impact that this action will have as well as those in many other farming areas around our country, are impossible to measure and likely not understood until it is too late.
Our gobernment must open its eyes and realize they need to do what is not right what is politically correct.
