Fieldale Farms President Speaks Out Against Georgia Immigration Bills
Tom Hensley, president of Fieldale Farms Corp., which has locations in north Georgia, told the Senate Special Committee on Immigration and Georgia's Economy that existing legislation already had a detrimental effect on the poultry industry in Hall County that would only be worsened by statewide legislation.
Hensley said despite using measures to ensure the company hired documented workers, the anti-immigrant climate in the state has driven the Latino workers he depended on away from his business.
