Immigration Subcommittee Debates the Merits of the H-2A Visa Program
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement hosted a hearing Wednesday morning titled “The H-2A Visa Program: Meeting the Growing Needs of American Agriculture?” While it is very clear that the H-2A program needs to be reformed and made more user friendly, it's apparent that some Members of Congress are eager to jump on the AgJOBS Amnesty bandwagon to “legalize” the “undocumented” workers and expect them to stay in agriculture instead of migrating over to other industries like construction.
