Bail was set at $25,000 Monday, and he is scheduled for an arraignment hearing in May. Yawgel was also arrested in February for allegedly assault- ing his mother. Ag employers like Trump’s guest worker comments By DAN WHEAT Capital Press Organizations representing agricultural employers say they were heartened by President Donald Trump’s comments in favor of agricultural guest workers at a campaign rally in Michigan. “For the farmers, OK, it’s going to get good and we’re going to let your guest workers come in because we’re going to have strong borders, but we have to have your workers come in,” Trump said in Wash- ington, Michigan, on Saturday. Unemployment is low enough that guest workers can help on farms and then leave, the president said. “Guest workers. Don’t we agree? We have to have them. We have to have them,” Trump said. The statement may have been the president’s most overt public comments in favor of agricultural guest workers. The U.S. Department of Labor approved 200,049 H-2A- visa foreign guest workers for U.S. farms in fiscal year 2017, up 20.7 percent from 165,741 in 2016. They are needed to meet farmers’ needs in labor-in- tensive crops, agricultural orga- nizations say. “I haven’t seen the whole text of his comments, but if he’s recognizing that we need a workforce here that’s legal and available, that’s good news,” said Michael Marsh, president and CEO of the National Coun- cil for Agricultural Employers in Washington, D.C. The council continues to work with House Judiciary Chairman Robert Goodlatte, R-Virginia, and House leader- ship to “get a guest-worker pro- gram that will really work for us and be something that could really help agriculture,” Marsh said. Dan Fazio, executive direc- tor of WAFLA, formerly the Washington Farm Labor Asso- ciation, in Olympia, Washing- ton, said Trump’s comments “are a very positive sign.” WAFLA facilitated a large percentage of the 18,796 H-2A workers approved for Washing- ton state in 2017. “We’ve been working with the administration since they took office and when they told us to make a business case for the legal guest-worker pro- gram. That case has been made,” Fazio said. “If Congress fails to act on the Securing America’s Future Act (HR 4760, sponsored by Goodlatte), we feel confident the administration will under- take the necessary policy changes to make H-2A more usable,” Fazio said. Previously, he said those changes could be aimed at making the program less expensive and less cumber- some but would not be as per- manent as congressional action. Ryan Jacobsen, president of the Fresno County Farm Bureau in Fresno, California, said it’s great the president and his administration are recogniz- ing the issue.

During the course of the ensuing struggle, the suspect allegedly stabbed both of the men. A fourth man then saw what was happening, and reportedly used his handgun to fire shots into the air in an effort to stop the fight. Wright said both vic- tims were taken by ambu- lance to Columbia Memo- rial Hospital in Astoria. He did not know the nature of their injuries or their medi- cal status. Wright described the suspect as a local, possibly mentally unstable man who is known to police. Pacific County sheriff’s deputies and Washington State Patrol troopers assisted at the scene.

The incident occurred shortly before 7 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 100 block of Second Avenue SW in Ilwaco, according to Long Beach Police Chief Flint Wright. Investigators are still try- ing to piece together exactly what happened, Wright said, but they believe the alterca- tion started when two men saw a third man attempting to set fire to a car. Each of the men tried to intervene, apparently unaware the sus- pect was allegedly armed SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A By NATALIE ST. JOHN Chinook Observer ONLY *Full year, per household.

We also have to deal with those (illegal immigrants) already here. But it’s great acknowledgment that this is an issue the administra- tion seems willing to work on,” Jacobsen said. California growers have been slow to use H-2A because of difficulty in getting workers in a timely fashion for perish- able crops and because of the cost of worker housing growers must provide, he said. HR 4760 would bolster immigration enforcement and include the use of E-Ver- ify (electronic verification of employment eligibility), fix the Deferred Action for Child- hood Arrivals program and replace the H-2A guest-worker program with a new category called H-2C. It’s supported by the American Farm Bureau Federation and WAFLA but is opposed by Western Growers Association. Matt Winters/Chinook Observer Long Beach Police Chief Flint Wright gathered up crime-scene tape at about 7:45 p.m. Monday after a stabbing that occurred near the corner of Second Ave- nue and Lake Street in Ilwaco. 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM M AY 11:30 1 Jeopardy!
