Benefits. and Security Act. or AgJOBS. a bill I have long supported. I was joined in that bipartisan effort by Senator Larry Craig. AgJOBS will reform the H2A visa program for temporary agricultural labor. This new version will help dairy farmers in Vermont and many other States to legally hire foreign workers. The bipartisan provision approved by the panel would make dairy workers able to work under visas for up to 3 years. with the opportunity to adjust to permanent residence and achieve their full potential to become eligible for higher paying occupations. The American people are engaging with us in this debate. The Nations newspapers reflect the publics growing interest in how these decisions will be settled.
