It was a shame and a stain on the American workforce ethic. Then we had. over a long period of time. with the leadership of Cesar Chavez. an attempt to get justice for probably about 900.000 agricultural workers. who do som e of the toughest work that is done in this country. No question. half of them are undocumentedprobably 600.000 or 700.000 is the best estimate we have. They have been able to work out an agreement between agribusiness and these farm workers. which we basically included in this bill. What we were saying. basically. under the earlier provisions is that they would be able to gain the opportunity for getting a green card in 5 years. Under this legislation. it is 8 years they have to wait. They have to demonstrate that they have worked hard in the agricultural sector.
