What do these job postings show? That even "full time" work often means less than 8 hours per day. So I believe that the Chambliss amendment. if successful. would deprive most farm workers of the chance to enter the earned legalization program. or if they entered. the chance to earn a green card. The Chambliss amendment is an effort to destroy the AgJOBS compromise. It is not only unfair but counterproductive. One purpose of AgJOBS is to stabilize the workforce by encouraging undocumented workers to come forward and work in agriculture in return for the opportunity to earn a blue card and eventually. after additional hard work in the fields. a green card. By depriving many farm workers of this opportunity. the Chambliss amendment would perpetuate the unstable farm labor force that contains so many undocumented workers.
