MASS LAY OFF. Hundreds of workers were fired from Gebber Farms in Eastern Washington, after an audit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What does this mass firing tell us about the Obama administration’s immigration policy?

Guest: Esteban Camacho, Manager, “La milpa” grocery store, Brewster, WA.
