On Tuesday, Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel) announced the reintroduction of the Farm Workforce Modernization Act for the 117th Congress.  This legislation would provide an earned pathway to legalization and potential for citizenship for those who have and will continue to work in agriculture and improve the H-2A visa guestworker program with streamlined and modern procedures.  The legislation is co-sponsored by California Representatives Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose), Jim Costa (D-Fresno), Doug La Malfa (R-Richvale), and Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) and will provide “stability, predictability, and fairness to our country’s agriculture communities.”
