But those are things that are being talked about which would be substantially better than last years legislation. There is a seasonal worker program that makes much more sense than what was in last years bill. The principles also contain a "new and improved" seasonal worker program that would combine the current agriculturalthe H2A planand unskilledH2B3seasonal worker programs. We combine those two programs. as they should be combined. because they are each for temporary workers. Workers could remain in this country for 9 months at a time. under this proposal. and would be required to return to their home countries for 3 months in between. This is a temporary worker program that appears to be actually temporary. unlike last years legislation. in which the temporary guest worker program in last years immigration bill said an individual could come to this country temporarily. but they could bring their wife and children. They could come for 3 years. That 3 years could be extended again and again and again.
