Opponents of this amendment also argue that it would result In a vast influx of foreign workers who would never return to their homeland. This amendment. however. contains several measures to limit the number of workers admitted and to ensure the return of those workers to their homeland. Workers would be given visas that would. in most instances. admit them to work for a period not to exceed 9 months. As I previously mentioned. during the first 3 years after enactment of this bill. the total number of workers admitted under this program at any given time could not exceed 350.000. Strong incentives are provided to encourage workers to return to their countries of origin by withholding 20 percent of their wages which would be returned to them through the U.S. consulate In their country of origin upon their return and proof of compliance with terms of the visa. including the requirement of continuous employment in perishable agriculture. If workers are not continuously employed. they must leave the United States. Failure to do so within 30 days of their last verifiable employment could result in forfeiture of their withheld wages.
