Vote NO on the Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act. The bill, known as SAWA, expands the H-2A visa program into year-round, non-agricultural jobs, converting stable permanent positions into temporary ones. However, its wage provisions alone could cost farm and food workers between $4.4 billion and $5.4 billion annually. This bill might help farmers, but the cost is high for the workers. There are many better ways to stabilize the seasonal worker and legal status that don’t involve indentured servitude and wage slavery. Congress should be strengthening agricultural and food workers, not weakening them. Vote NO on SAWA. It’s a move to oppress, not free people in - largely immigrant - farm workers and seasonal worker jobs. Vote NO. Thank you.
