U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra visits farmworkers in California to talk about climate change.
He's one of Biden administration's leading voices on climate change, focusing attention on low-income and marginalized workers.
He says there is only so much he can do because workplace protections are overseen by the Department of Labor .
Researchers found 15% of California farmworkers did not receive minimum rest breaks.
40% said their employer never provided a heat illness prevention plan.
Farmworker advocates praise Becerra for drawing attention to heat and wildfire smoke.
They worry federal dollars won't reach the most vulnerable.
