Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I think this legislation which we have before us now is long past due. I have never been able to understand why. though. we need migrant labor in a country where we have millions of unemployed. but the fact is that we do have migrant labor and we do use them. I think we need to provide adequate protection for them and for the farmer. The bill eliminates the fiction that farmers. packing shed operators. and other agriculture employers are crew leaders. By eliminating this fiction. it removes the requirement that farmers register as crew leaders. be fingerprinted. and eliminates their potential liability for not registering as crew leaders.
