(Lead-in) --The fall harvest is winding down at farms across the midstate. Many of the seasonal workers counted on to pick bushels and bushels of apples, peaches and other crops are either headed to work at farms in warmer climates or back to their home countries. But, talk of overhauling immigration has led many in the state's agriculture industry to worry whether they'll eventually have enough workers in their fields and orchards. As part of our Real Life | Real Issues series on immigration this month, WITF's Tim Lambert reports:

While farmers say they do their best to ensure they have legal workers, other businesses may not be as careful. A 2009 estimate by the Pew Hispanic Center put the number of illegal immigrants with jobs in Pennsylvania at 110,000 or 1.8 percent of the workforce. Next Thursday on WITF's Morning Edition and All Things Considered, Real Life | Real Issues looks into how one illegal immigrant from Mexico found work in central PA. Hear his story as well as those of a pizza shop manager who has hired undocumented workers and a midstate man who lost jobs in the past to illegal workers.
