Back in Sept of last year Feinstein asked for millions in federal money to restock the food banks in Fresno because there was a 50% unemployment rate among the farm laborers. This was done a week before signing legislation asking for more migrant workers, and she answered an email I sent her about an excess of migrant labor by saying the fruit were rotting on the trees because there weren't enough migrants to pick the fruit. At the time I had spoken to at least 75 migrant workers here in Ventura County that were only getting two days of work or less each week. All that money Feinstein asked for went to the nonprofits to distribute to the migrants.
Rose recently tried to get work picking strawberries, but they told her they weren't hiring. Does something smell foul?
