U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR PROPOSES TO SUSPEND H-2A RULE

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) today announced the proposed suspension for nine months of a final rule implementing changes to the H-2A program, which allows U.S. agricultural businesses to employ foreign workers in temporary or seasonal agricultural jobs. The department’s proposed action is open for public comment for 10 days.

The H-2A non immigrant program is designed to provide agricultural businesses with short-term foreign agricultural labor when there are not enough domestic workers. Receiving an H-2A labor certification is the first step in the employment-based immigration process to work on a farm.

The Labor Department's Office of Foreign Labor Certification will continue to accept and process
H-2A applications during the proposed suspension period. Any final action on today's proposed
suspension will appear in a future Federal Register notice. To read more about this story visit the website of the Department of Labor at: www.dol.gov

  1. We are not going to release Sen.Harry Reid(D-NV),House Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-CA) from their responsibility to the American Worker. E-verify is not going-- away, although they connived to dismiss it secretly from the Stimulus/Omnibus package, with 48 other Democrats. I don't see Hillary Clinton involved in this debacle, but my guess is Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano, has effected E-Verify as she showed her true stripes as Governor of Arizona. We also have Rep Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.)on tour to publicize a new AMNESTY. He is amplifying his cry, " current immigration rules hurt families?" But what families? He is not talking about the American families, whose breadwinner hasn't seen a paycheck for months. He wants to unload the millions already here, who taxpayers folk out for every day. Another Amnesty will cripple our hospitals, schools and pensions for senior citizens. Then those original lawbreakers could bring in more of the family circle. Then guess whose waiting just across the border for their turn? It will be like the 11th century barbarians sweeping down on a defenseless wilting Roman Empire in 410AD.


    They have shown their allegiance is-- not--to THE PEOPLE of these United States, but to the US Chamber of Commerce, UCLA, subversive foreign entities and of course the 40 million illegal aliens calculated by the Heritage Foundation.

    The 1986 Immigration Rule of Law is the law of our land and cannot be violated. The Simpson/Mazzoli bill that was passed by legislators has been abused, even though it was drafted on behalf of the US electorate.

    E-Verify is a simple, accessible system that an identify illegal labor in the workplace. Businesses who ignore the computer friendly e-verify data base and hire foreign nationals, have no excuses in federal court. They are traitors to America and should be dealt with severely. E-Verify is funded till September and must be extended forever.

    We are being--HEARD-- in Washington, but we must not stop the roar of outrage. 202-224-3121 To locate your Senator www.senate.gov/ For your Congressman www.house.gov/ President Obama: Switchboard: 202-456-1414 Comments: 202-456-1111 FAX: 202-456-2461
