August will be a long hot month for McCarthy and other Calif. R's

Farm workers press Kevin McCarthy to act on immigration reform

Apr 24, 2014

By Griselda Nevarez

Carrying handpicked produce, hundreds of farm workers from across California converged at House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy’s Bakersfield office on Thursday to deliver a message on immigration reform: “I harvest for 10 hours a day. Can you take 10 minutes to schedule a vote?”...

McCarthy has become a target for immigration reform supporters who want him to push for a vote on immigration reform legislation in the GOP-controlled House. They see him as a prime target not only because he is the third-ranking House Republican, but also because his district has a large Latino population. About 35 percent of those living in McCarthy’s district are Hispanic.

...His district is also one of the nation’s top agriculture districts, and many of the farm workers who harvest there are undocumented.
