Details
of the Senate AgJobs Amnesty:
-
Grants a 5-year amnesty to
up 1.35 million agriculture workers. There is no indication of what
will happen after the 5-year visa runs out.
-
Allows spouses and children
to receive the amnesty, upping the number to at least 3 million.
-
Triples the maximum number
of H-2B visas for lower skill, non-agriculture seasonal workers.
We already have
an H-2A temporary seasonal worker program, which has no limit to the
number of workers farmers can import. We don't need an amnesty to
legalize millions of low-skilled workers and their families.

Senate Committee
Passes Amnesty for Illegal Ag Workers
(NumbersUSA.com
-- May 19, 2008) -- At last week's markup of the Iraq supplemental
appropriations bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee committed an
outrageous act of disrespect for our men and women in uniform and to the
citizens of this country by adopting an amendment by Sen. Dianne
Feinstein (D-Calif.) that gives amnesty to illegal-alien agricultural
workers. . .
The full Senate may begin work on the bill on Tuesday, May 20, so please
contact your Senators now to urge them to work to strip the amnesty from
the Iraq spending bill on the floor, as well as the other amendments
increasing immigration levels.

- Excerpts from the article:
- Comparing Dallas to either Irving or Farmers Branch "is
unfair," Mr. Leppert said, adding that Dallas is "empathetic" to
the plight of undocumented immigrants.
- "It's certainly the wrong way to go, having municipalities
determine federal policies," he said.
- "We need the federal government and we need Congress to step
up. Dallas is a culturally diverse city with a strong Hispanic
presence, whether in business, school board or city council.
That's the relevant message we want to get out."
- The foreign minister praised Mr. Leppert's call for
"comprehensive immigration reform" and policies in Dallas "aimed
at improving the quality of life of all Mexicans living in that
city."
- City Councilman Steve Salazar, one of four council members
accompanying Mr. Leppert on the trip, said that the "goal in
Dallas is to make the city a vibrant place with a great quality
of life for everyone, regardless of their undocumented status.
Checking their status is not our job."
