Congress has a choice, he said: either
reform the H-2A visa program or
create an entirely new guest worker
program that responds to the needs
of the marketplace.
" The government has forced U.S.
agriculture into this incredibly insecure
situation where growers don't know
if they're going to have a raid on their
farms, and certainly the employees
don't know if they're going to be
rounded up by the authorities from one
day to the next, " Quarles said. " That's
no way to run a business. "
At the same time, border security, and
enforcing immigration laws throughout
the U.S., is essential, he said.
" If you create a new visa for the
migrant workers and a new guest
worker program and then you don't
have strong rules around it and you
don't have strong enforcement, people
are just going to cheat, " Quarles said.
" They're going to run around the
system and the whole thing's going to
break down again. "
