Support Farm Worker Justice
- Issue: The people who put the food on our table are often faced with fear and intimidation because many employers use the threat of deportation to ensure their silence. AgJOBS (S.359/H.R.884) would allow undocumented farm workers to earn the right to permanently stay in this country by continuing to work in agriculture. With broad bipartisan support, this is a comprehensive bill negotiated by the United Farm Workers and the agricultural industry.
- "...We have already been here 11 years and we have not been able to go to Mexico. In my husband's case, his mother died and he carries the pain of not having been able to see her one last time, at the funeral, and all because he is undocumented. I also start to think a lot and I worry about what would happen with my family if they deport me. I would have to take one of my children with me and leave the others. They would suffer and so would I." --Undocumented farm worker from Washington State
