Senate Committee Passes Amnesty for Illegal Ag Workers

NumbersUSA.com
(May 16) At yesterday’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 amendment indicates a maximum of 1.35 million illegal alien ag workers could obtain “emergency agricultural worker status” for a five-year period. Since their families also can obtain this status, it is estimated that the total number receiving an amnesty would reach 3 million. The committee also adopted other immigration-related amendments, including one that drastically expands the H-2B visa program for non-agricultural seasonal workers.

A vote by the full Senate may occur early next week, 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.

The most important point to stress is that there is no need for an amnesty to provide growers with workers. There already is an H-2A foreign ag worker program that provides growers with an unlimited number of temporary workers if the growers agree to pay a decent wage and ensure that they go home at the end of the season. Feinstein is just trying to protect the abysmally low wages and bad working conditions that farmworkers labor under.

Rat Says: We need to go ballistic on this people. Call Diane Feinstein’s and Larry Craig’s offices and yell at these criminal traitors!!! We all know Diane hates America and wants her destroyed but I have to think that the globalist have photos of Larry Craig naked with little boys for him to try to sneak this treasonous legislation through. It’s time for Larry to resign immediately.

At the 11th hour two corrupt Senators sneak in an amnesty provision by attaching it to a completely unrelated bill for war spending, giving amnesty to millions of illegals. AmericanResolve
