Biometric ID Cards Could Help Resolve Migrant Worker Issues

Lovely big ag is lobbying for biometric id cards

"Garrison, a dairy farmer from Indiana, leads a pro-agricultural lobbyist group to help tackle farming related issues in Washington.

According to Garrison, although a comprehensive bill to [b]mandate cards for everyone working in the U.S.[/b] is in its formative stages as a Senate bill, plans are under way to ensure [b]everybody is required to have a card in the U.S, whether you are a citizen or not[/b]...

What Garrison believes is that a “bridge” program can be put into place to serve as a comprehensive bill. This may do more than the border fences, work site raids and audits that have faced municipalities.

It will also expand the program to help employers make better use of migrant labor.

The AgJOBS bill will create a situation that will help solve the problems encountered with H-2A and Arizona’s new immigrant law with an “incremental approach to get things started,” he said. “AgJOBS is becoming recognized as the way to handle this by the U.S. Congress,” he said."
