Bill overview
The Agricultural Worker Program Act of 2019 aims to create a pathway for temporary and eventual permanent resident status for agricultural workers. It establishes a ‘blue card’ program allowing eligible aliens, including spouses and children of qualifying workers and certain nonimmigrant agricultural workers, to obtain temporary residency. Applicants must pass security checks and meet work requirements, and those in deportation proceedings may be eligible. The bill also includes provisions for correcting Social Security records and addressing potential issues with employers.
