House Passes bill that critics say grants 'large-scale amnesty' to illegal immigrants
2019-12-12

[FOX] The Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed 260-165, with support from both Democrats and Republicans. The bill provides a process for undocumented farmworkers to seek a temporary five-and-a-half-year "Certified Agricultural Worker" status if they have worked for approximately six months in the industry in the last two years.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the bill’s sponsor, said that it was a "historic" compromise and example of bipartisanship.

Because California needs more serfs

The bill had support from a number of farm groups, but has faced fierce opposition from immigration restrictionists, who claim that the amnesty component is similar to one in the 1980s that was rife with fraud and saw more than a million illegal immigrants win protection. They also say that the bill keeps immigrant workers tied to their jobs in a form of indentured servitude until they get their green cards.

"The only thing worse than another large-scale amnesty is one that then forces people to continue to toil for poor wages and under poor working conditions for the same unscrupulous employers who hired them illegally in the first place," Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), said in a statement.
