Friend,
Last month, the Trump Administration proposed harmful changes to the agricultural guest worker program known as “H-2A.”
The H2A program allows immigrant workers to temporarily enter the U.S. to perform seasonal agricultural jobs.
The proposed changes would make it easier to deny jobs to U.S. domestic farm workers so employers can hire more temporary field laborers and pay them less. It would also depress pay and reduce existing protections for both domestic and temporary workers. And it would lead to housing abuses, by allowing employers to avoid annual inspections of housing for farmworkers.
You can help stop these changes from being implemented. Submit a public comment here to oppose this proposal.

The Trump administration may claim they’re protecting American workers, but in reality, they are freezing them out of jobs. We cannot let these changes happen.
Click here to send the United Farm Workers Foundation your comments so they can submit them en masse to the U.S. Department of Labor and save you the difficulty of navigating through the government website.
Thank you for your support,
Juana
