That is going to mean better service to the consumers of agricultural products all across this country. It is enormously valuable and very worthwhile and one of the compelling reasons for this legislation. Included in this legislation are very important protections that are not in there under the current H2A program. Some people have talked about what is happening in agribusiness today in the H2A program. and too much of that is true. but that will be altered and changed under the agricultural worker compromise. There are specific provisions. again. in order to be eligible for this program individuals are going to have to demonstrate. they must already have a work record of more than 2 years. They will be able to work over a period of 3 years in the business after that period of time. 3 to 5 years. and after that. they can get on a glidepath toward citizenship.
