“Immigration restrictionists are losing their collective minds over recently introduced legislation that would overhaul the H-2A visa program. Their loudest criticism centers on one provision involving undocumented agricultural workers already in the United States. We’ll come back to that provision shortly because understanding the rest of the bill provides important context. The bill in question is the Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act, H.R. 9535. It was introduced on June 30 by House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson, and it boasts a bipartisan group of 51 original sponsors. You may think that the cosponsors are mostly moderates, but that’s not the case. Although the bill has bipartisan support, the cosponsors are overwhelmingly Republican and include Reps. Brian Jack (R-GA), Lloyd Smucker (R-PA), Austin Scott (R-GA), and Brett Guthrie (R-KY).” (07/22/26)
