Customers Rally Around Grocers Denied Green Cards
Canadian couple guilty of creating jobs and prosperity
The immigrant owners of a popular Orange County organic market could be sent packing after their green cards were denied by immigration officials.
For the past three years, Katja and Troy Gage have been running Eat More Produce, which employs about 20 workers and draws so many customers to its Winter Park location that they were getting ready to expand.
But Channel 9 learned the Canadian couple was told they don't employ the right kind of workers in order to stay in the U.S. and they had their green card denied by immigration officials because their business didn't meet the necessary requirements.
