AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez More than 300 agricultural organizations have come out in support of reforming the nation’s guestworker program, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act.  Advocates say it would help ease chronic shortages of farmworkers and give them legal status. The bill also gives undocumented workers and their families a path to stay in this country without fear of deportation, which means farmers would have a stable workforce for the nation’s food supply.

By 3/17/2021 The Democrat-controlled House put a bill giving legal status to undocumented farmworkers and streamlining the H-2A guestworker program on the legislative fast track on Tuesday. Party leaders hope to score a victory this week on a popular idea an earlier version of the bill passed with bipartisan backing in 2019  even as support for comprehensive immigration reform is lacking. Representatives voted, 216-204, to limit debate on the bill to one hour and to bar amendments, assuring speedy handling. The bill has Democratic and Republican sponsors and broad, though not universal, support among farm groups. “This is a compromise,” said sponsor Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat, that assures a legal and reliable workforce for agricultural employers.
