The “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act’’ includes provisions based on a landmark agreement that was reached by the Agriculture Workforce Coalition (AWC), the UFW and key Senators. The bipartisan legislation represents the best opportunity in years to ensure America’s farmers, ranchers and growers have access to a secure and stable workforce now and in the future.
