Speech #980211616

I represent an area of Florida which has a large agricultural constituency. The common practice for growers in this region of the country is to hire a crew chief. who then has the responsibility to put together a team of pickers. If the crew chief were to hire an illegal alien and bring him to work on a growers property. who is liable? Who suffers the penalty? Is it the crew chief who actually did the hiring. who actually made the selection of the harvesting crew. or is it the grower. the property owner. who may have virtually no contact with the actual crew involved in the harvest except indirectly by virtue of their being the purpose for the contract between the crew chief and the grower?
