Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021

Roll Call Number: 93 | Session Number: 1

This bill would ultimately provide amnesty by creating a new “certified agricultural worker” status for which only illegal immigrant agricultural workers would be eligible. To qualify for this new status, individuals must be here illegally, as the bill states eligible aliens must be “inadmissible or deportable from the United States on the date of the introduction of this Act.” Furthermore, once this status has been granted to an individual, their children and spouses can then be granted “certified agricultural dependent” status leading to an exponentially larger population of illegal immigrants being granted amnesty.1
