Rep. Yoho Details Agricultural Guest Worker Plan

from Radio America News · host Radio America

Immigration reform remains very elusive in Washington as Republicans and Democrats seemingly find less and less common ground as the debate continues.  Florida Rep. Ted Yoho believes comprehensive legislation is highly unlikely and a bad idea anyway, so he's taking aim at improving the guest worker program for agricultural workers.Yoho represents an agriculture-heavy district.  He says it's simply a fact that guest workers are needed in the industry but the U.S. must do a much better job keeping track of who is coming in and how to find them if they overstay their visas.In this podcast, Yoho describes how his legislation requires far greater scrutiny on who can enter the nation as a guest worker, what would and would not be required of employers who hire them, the importance of E-Verify in making sure all workers are in the country legally and much more.  He also addresses whether Republicans and Democrats can find any common ground on this issue.
