Act is a needed reform in our immigration laws. to reflect current economic realities. address our security needs more effectively. and do so in a way that respects Americas immigrant heritage. It provides a fair and reasonable way for undocumented agricultural workers to earn legal status and also reforms the current visa program. so that employers unable to find American workers can hire needed foreign workers. Together they serve as the cornerstone for comprehensive immigration reform of the agricultural sector. AgJOBS is good for labor and business. The Nation can no longer ignore the fact that more than half of our agricultural workers are undocumented. Growers need an immediate. reliable and legal workforce at harvest time. Farm workers need legal status to improve their wages and working conditions.
