Niagara County farmer among those calling for immigration reform

Jim Bittner of Singer Farms in Appleton was one of several farmers who called for immigration reform during a meeting with federal representatives on Tuesday, according to The Batavia Daily News.

Aggressive enforcement of immigration laws, Bittner said, has turned many local farms into "war zones," the newspaper reported today.

The discussion was part of a session with Rep. Chris Lee's agriculture advisory committee.

Here's the entire Daily News' story.
