Homeland Security Regulations Anger Several Valley Farmers
by Brian Morrow
VIDEO. Some valley farmers do not think highly of the Department of Homeland Security's latest regulations.

Members from the Nisei Farmers League and Fresno County Farm Bureau gathered to discuss Friday's announcement of the department's new regulations on illegal immigration and hiring practices.

The new rule will require employers to fire employees who are unable to clear up problems with their Social Security numbers 90 days after they are notified.

Employers could face sanctions and a more than $2,000 fine. The new rule goes into effect in 30 days.
