This amendment makes it easier to hire alien temporary workers than under current law. which would make that unemployment problem worse. This amendment very clearly promotes the unemployment of American agricultural workers and the exploitation of foreign agricultural workers. It will result in denying jobs to U.S. farmworkers. decreasing wages and unsafe working conditions. The amendment provides weaker worker protection than the current H2A program. Under this amendment. employers would no longer be responsible for housing for guestworkers. Since affordable farmworker housing. especially in my home State of California. is In short supply. we would be ensurIng an increase in homelessness.
