Immigration and Ag Conference

By immigrationprof

On June 13-14, 2007, a conference on Immigration Reform: Implications for Farmers, Farm Workers, and Communities wil be held in Washington DC. The conference features speakers from government and industry as well as researchers discussing the impacts of immigration on agriculture and rural communities; Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) will provide the keynote address. Immigration reform may provide a path to legal status for some currently unauthorized farm workers and make it easier for farm employers to employ legal guest workers under a revised H-2A temporary worker program. The agenda for the 2007 conference, and the papers from the 2006 conference, here.
