All employers in the United States must confirm all employees’ eligibility through the federal E- Verify system. With the passing of the measure, an agricultural worker amendment to the bill was rejected. Originally offered by Rep. Dan Lungren, the bill will lack a provision for an agricultural workforce as it goes to the full House for passage. United Fresh Produce Association Senior Vice President of Public Policy Robert Guenther states, “Without an agricultural worker program, this legislation threatens the viability of fruit and vegetable growers across the country, and will have a significant impact on the entire fresh produce marketing chain.”
