Overhaul set for guest-worker plan

February 6, 2008

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration today plans to announce the most significant overhaul in two decades of the nation’s agricultural guest worker program, in a bid to dramatically increase the number of legal foreign laborers available to harvest crops.

The revised regulations, many months in the works, would make it easier for growers to bring foreign workers to the United States and could alleviate the critical farmworker shortage largely caused by the U.S. crackdown on illegal border crossings.

  1. I am sick and tired of politicians that make choices that they know would be against what the American People want. The People have no faith in Politicians and with just cause. The Mexicans should all be sent back and come into the country legally. If companies, farms ect would pay a decent wage they could find American Workers but all of us Americans are greedy and want more for ourselves and to heck with anyone else.
