## Resource

Congressman Mike Simpson is pushing a bold new bill to overhaul the H-2A agricultural worker program, aiming to stabilize farm labor by extending work authorization to 350 days and locking in predictable wages. The proposal also offers a pathway for undocumented workers already in the country to transition into legal status without penalty, easing compliance for the industry. While agriculture groups back the plan, the administration’s mixed signals—despite Trump’s support for farm workers—add uncertainty. With the bill headed to the House Judiciary Committee and Simpson’s decades of experience on immigration reform, he’s optimistic this could be the breakthrough moment for a long-stalled fix.
