Legislation Introduced to Shield Farmworkers from Deportation
Monday, June 5, 2017
The United Professional Horseman's Association (UPHA) would like to make you aware of a bill sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein aimed at protecting farmworkers from being deported and allowing them a path to legal status with the legislation offering "blue card status."
The bill, deemed the Agricultural Worker Program Act, would allow those who have performed work in agriculture for 100 days in both of the last two years to receive the special status, according to Feinstein, D-California.
If you would like to show your support, please contact your congressmen. UPHA will continue to update the progress of this bill.
