Bipartisan Bill Proposes Legalizing Foreign Farmworkers, Requiring E-Verify

A bipartisan bill recently introduced in the House of Representatives would offer legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented foreign national farmworkers and require the use of E Verify among agriculture employers.
The Farm Workforce Modernization Act would also make a number of reforms to the H-2A visa program for temporary agricultural workers, changing how wages are determined and adding new, three-year temporary visas and additional green cards to meet year-round labor needs.
