In addition. these growers would certify to the Attorney General. in advance. that they will comply with specific requirements set forth in my amendment. These include explicit efforts to recruit and hire first domestic workers who are willing. able. and qualified to harvest perishable crops. If the number of domestic workers is inadequate to meet the growers harvesting needs. then the amendment would permit a participating grower to hire legal foreign workers. who have been issued temporary visas by the Attorney General for the specific purpose of providing a supplemental work force in perishable agricultural production. As under the H2 provisions of S. 1200. growers would be required to pay an adverse effect wage rate as determined by the Department of Labor. What that means is they are required to pay a wage that assures they will not undercut the prevailing wage. which clearly is above the minimum wage.
