(May 15) At today'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 copy of the amendment obtained by NumbersUSA indicates a maximum of 1.35 million illegal aliens, plus their families, could obtain "emergency agricultural worker status" for a five-year period. However, the amendment also allows an adjustment of status, which paves the way for permanent legalization. Sources tell us the committee adopted other immigration-related amendments, including one that drastically expands the H-2B visa program for non-agricultural seasonal workers.
