Dear Conservatives,
A bipartisan group of Representatives, led by Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), has introduced a massive farmworker amnesty bill into Congress. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act would provide amnesty for over 1.5 million illegal alien farmworkers, expand the H-2A program, and add 40,000 green cards to the EB-3 category.
Tell the House to reject this amnesty proposal!
While industry and agriculture across the globe is moving toward more automation and laborsaving technology, HR 4916 would take the U.S. backwards and lock in dependence on low-skilled workers.
Unauthorized aliens who have worked in agriculture for at least 180 days in the past two years would be eligible for a new immigration status titled Certified Agricultural Worker (CAW) and eventually able to apply for green cards and then citizenship. The bill even suspends current deportation proceedings against aliens who may be eligible for CAW.
HR 4916 expands the H-2A seasonal worker program by offering new year-round visas. It also adds 40,000 additional EB-3 green cards, allowing H-2A workers to apply for green cards after 10 years of H-2A status. The bill does mandate E-Verify, but only for agworkers, not a broad spectrum of the labor pool.
In short, the ill-named Farm Workforce Modernization Act provides a huge amnesty and creates new paths for unskilled migrants to become citizens. Experience demonstrates that each amnesty encourages more illegal immigration.
Please send a message to your U.S. Representative and urge rejection of HR 4916, a massive amnesty.
Tell Congress to reject the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, a huge amnesty and incentive for more illegal immigration.

Vote no for the HR 4916 amnesty act! There's no reason for illegal aliens to not enter America the correct legal way. And take the path to citizenship!
