House Passes Citizenship Bill For Farmworkers

The Farm Workforce Modernization Act, passed by the US House with bipartisan support, aims to provide a citizenship pathway for undocumented farmworkers and reform visa categories. It allows workers and their families to apply for renewable five-year visas if they have worked 180 days in the past two years, potentially leading to permanent residency. The bill is seen as beneficial for employers and job seekers in the agriculture sector, where undocumented immigrants constitute 15% of the workforce. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
