Over the past week our office has been made aware of the possibility that Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) may be planning to attach the proposed Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits, and Security Act of 2007 (AgJOBS) to the Farm Bill Extension Act of 2007 (H.R. 2419).

If passed, the AgJOBS amendment would create an amnesty program, similar to the one that was rejected by Congress earlier this year, which would grant amnesty to agricultural workers who are unlawfully residing within the United States. Millions of illegal immigrants could potentially be given legal status by the AgJOBS program. According to the Heritage Foundation, 1.5 million workers would be granted "legal" status, as well as approximately 1.8 million family members.

The AgJOBS bill would just be another piecemeal approach to the comprehensive immigration reform bill that was widely opposed by the American people earlier this year. Continue to oppose the AgJOBS bill, or other forms of amnesty, by contacting Congress today.
