Alert! Senators plan to add AgJobs amnesty bill to Farm Bill!

The defeat of the DREAM Act was a major setback for amnesty proponents, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has now indicated that he wants to attach the AgJobs amnesty text to the 2007 Farm Bill Reauthorization.

The AgJobs guestworker amnesty bill by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Larry Craig (R-ID) would provide an amnesty for illegal aliens engaged in agricultural work and for their spouses and children-potentially 3 million people. It would provide few safeguards against fraud in the application process, and it would relax the standards for H-2A agricultural guestworker visas.
