The people immigration reform affects most are speaking out. Their support is unwavering.

The United Farm Workers called press conferences in Fresno and Salinas on Wednesday. Union heads were flanked by field hands and faith-based laders.

They're speaking out in support of President Obama's immigration reform. Primarily, they agree that the 11 million undocumented workers in this country deserve legal protection.

Farmworkers are not getting any argument from their employers. Central Valley growers say providing security to their skilled workforce will only help business and bolster the nation's economy.

The UFW is asking everyone to call their congressional representatives to voice their support for immigration reform.
