El comité judicial aprobó la propuesta 22-13, pero hay posibilidades en la cámara baja de pararla, ya que los agricultores, algunas asociaciones de negocios y hasta el tea party están en contra de la aprobación de everify mandatorio a nivel nacional (aunque por razones diferentes a las nuestras).
The judicial committee approved E-verify bill without an agricultural worker exemption (see article link below). Many businesses and certainly ag business associations oppose this bill (per Maru, even Tea Party types) for differing reasons.
House committee endorses E-Verify, no ag exemption
Any pretense that the Legal Workforce Act would accommodate the needs of agriculture was dissolved with the votes of the House Judiciary Committee Sept. 21.
The mandatory E-Verify bill, H.R. 2885, was approved out of committee by a vote of 22-13. At the same time, the committee approved an amendment offered by Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif.
Berman's amendment stripped out a provision that would have allowed seasonal agricultural workers returning to past employers from having to use the E-Verify system. The Berman amendment passed 19-12, said Craig Regelbrugge, vice president of government relations for the American Nursery and Landscaping Association, Washington, D.C.
"I think what that does is that it strips the bill of any pretense that agriculture's problem is solved," he said. "Even though on the surface it is a negative, it may help us to drive this thing in a direction that it is all about the need to take care of agriculture in a serious way."
An industry-favored amendment offered by Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif., to create a market-based guest worker program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture was ruled not germane.
