An estimate was made here I think. is contradicted by the bill as written here. I asked the question if that grower would have the preference of choosing what alien or foreign worker he would want to bring in. Page 247. line 1: These visas shall be made available subject to such limitations to aliens described in section 101(a)(15)(P) in accordance with the preference system established under paragraph (2)(C). If you look then on the next page. 248. line 5. you see: The person may also include a statement indicating a preference as to country of nationality of aliens (or names of particular aliens) desired to perform labor in any such month. I submit to you that that does give the grower the right to choose. Further on the other page it says. "visas shall first be made available to qualified. nonimmigrants specifically identified in petitions submitted under paragraph 2(a)." I submit my colleague from California was wrong. that the grower does have the right to designate which alien. from what country. will come and under that jurisdiction he could also then subsequently reject that person off of his list with no preference. so as to blackball him because he did not submit himself to the working conditions and wages of that particular individual.
