This is from the NCFB website:
Immigration
North Carolina's farm families are facing a farm labor crisis. Our current H2A-guest worker law is too cumbersome and expensive, and it also leaves farmers open to frivilous lawsuits. North Carolina's agricultural economy depends on foreign workers and Congress needs to address this critical issue immediately. NCFB agrees that the federal government must do a better job of enforcing our immigration laws, but agriculture needs a sensible guest worker law that provides farmers with a stable supply of workers. A sensible guest worker program is the best way to control illegal immigration.
In December, the U.S. House passed H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005, on December 16, 2005 by a 239-182 vote. H.R. 4437 is an "enforcement-only" measure that cracks down on illegal immigration without solving our agriculture guest worker problem. It is disappointing that the House failed to take a stand on the guest worker issue, but there are still opportunities to influence the final immigration bill. The U.S. Senate is expected to consider its own immigration reform bill in February 2006. As Congress continues to debate this important issue, NCFB will continue to work with our congressional delegation to ensure that any immigration bill contains guest worker reform provisions.
