    Reid Stripped Amnesty from Iraq Spending Bill But H-2B Increases Remain

    (May 21) CongressDaily AM today reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) stripped the AgJOBS amnesty from the Iraq supplemental spending bill (H.R. 2642) last night as well as the increase in visas for employment-based permanent workers. Provisions to increase H-2B visas for unskilled seasonal workers remain in the bill. Please call your Senators to tell them to remove the H-2B visa increases as well, and to keep the AgJOBS amnesty and employment-based permanent worker increases off the bill.

    Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

    The H-2B provisions still in the bill, which were sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), would exempt from the annual cap of 66,000 any H-2B nonagricultural seasonal workers who were admitted during the previous three years. This could increase the annual number of H-2B workers to over 400,000 by FY 2011.

    Sen. Reid has stripped AgJOBS provisions added last week by the Senate Appropriations Committee that would have required the Department of Homeland Security to grant “emergency agricultural worker statusâ€

    Ironicaly the Congressional Hispanic Caucus is against H-2A visas.
    Their motive is to strong arm business that use cheap labor in order to make them lobby for unconditional amnesty. The CHC knows that the business lobby is important and once they get visas for their cheap workers, the business lobby will no longer feel the need to push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

    Temporary worker program blocked by Congressional Hispanic Caucus

    People's Weekly World Newspaper, 05/13/08 16:08

    The all-Democratic Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which includes 17 Latino members of Congress, has dug in its heels in an effort to bring relief to undocumented workers and their families who are currently being subjected to immigration raids. But in return, it is becoming the target of heavy pressure from the hotel, resort, seafood and other industries.

    Last fall, the leadership of the Caucus developed a strategy to create leverage for progress on immigration reform. Concluding that the full package of “comprehensive immigration reformâ€
