Bush takes steps on immigration

WASHINGTON - Farmers and other
employers who rely heavily on immigrant labor said Friday that they could be

Administration officials said the
stepped-up enforcement would begin in 30 days.

“Everyone’s very anxious,” said
Paul Schlegel, director of public policy for the American Farm Bureau
Federation. “We’re heading into the busiest time of the year for agriculture, so
you’re going to see a lot of worry from farmers and employers about how you deal
with this.”
