Immigration reform would include an adjustment of status for those currently undocumented that are working in agriculture, allowing them to work in agriculture, and secondly creates a usable guest worker visa program run by the USDA that allows for at-will or contract workers for agriculture. MFB opposes H.R. 1147 the Legal Workforce Act, a bill to require mandatory E-Verify, unless the legislation were to move in tandem with legislation addressing agricultures labor needs.
