| Abstract: | This publication documents a congressional hearing on the Agricultural Job Opportunity Benefits and Security Act of 1999, which focuses on these three major concerns: the United States (US) is the home of a large and growing number of undocumented agricultural workers; the current H-2A Program is administratively burdensome, does not work well for workers or employers and could be replaced by a registry; and the bill provides a route to legal residence for farm workers and enhances protections, wages, and labor conditions. An opening statement by Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan is followed by testimony and/or statements from Representatives from the States of California and Georgia; Senators from the States of Idaho, Florida, and Oregon; and individuals representing the United Farmworkers of America, AFL-CIO; Lutheran Ministry to Farmworkers, Woodburn, Oregon; National Council of Agricultural Employers, Washington, DC; Office of Research, Advocacy, and Legislation, National Council of La Raza; and American Farm Bureau, Traverse City, Michigan.
