Immigration Reform Affects Farm Hiring

Robert Coltrane

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1984, vol. 01, issue 01

Abstract: Congress is revising U.S. immigration laws for the first time in more than 20 years. The House and Senate bills (yet to be reconciled in committee) contain specific provisions for alien workers in agriculture. This article summarizes those provisions and describes the types and locations of farms that use the most hired labor and possibly the most illegal aliens.
