Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania introduced the Securing Agricultural Workforce Act (SAWA) on June 30, which aims to allow illegal aliens working in the agricultural sector to stay in the United States. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, and multiple others criticized the bill, Politico reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(RELATED: Is DHS Caving To Corporatocracy\u2019s Demand For Cheap Illegal Migrant Labor?)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thompson did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment. The White House declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo amnesty!\u201d DeSantis stated in an X post Monday. \u201cAmnesty is NOT what people voted for in 2024!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese Republicans just stabbed Trump\u2019s deportation promise in the back with an amnesty farm bill,\u201d Bovino also stated in an X post Tuesday. \u201cThey\u2019re only gonna get the message one way. Vote every single one of them out in a massive wave, and replace them with real immigration hawks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), the Western Growers Association (WGA), and over 400 agricultural groups have backed SAWA as of June 30, according to Thompson\u2019s press release. Additionally, SAWA boasts bipartisan support from over 40 co-sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no greater national security threat than disruptions to our food supply,\u201d Thompson stated in the press release. \u201cThe <em>Securing Agriculture\u2019s Workforce Act of 2026 <\/em>makes the practical, commonsense reforms required to prevent these disruptions by providing a workforce that meets agriculture\u2019s needs\u2014now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p>Thompson, who chairs the House Agriculture Committee, reportedly received over $550,000 from agribusiness lobbies between 2025 and 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the agricultural lobby is very powerful, but it\u2019s a poor excuse to overturn what should be our nation\u2019s immigration policy,\u201d Republican Post Falls Mayor Randy Westlund said, according to Politico. \u201cIt\u2019s a betrayal of the base of Republican voters who have no interest in amnesty whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Immigration Accountability Project (IAP) held a similar sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timing is what\u2019s most surprising,\u201d IAP president Chris Chmielenski told the DCNF. \u201cWe\u2019re less than four months from deciding which party controls Congress for the second half of President Trump\u2019s term, and there\u2019s zero appetite for a mass amnesty among Republican voters. The only explanation is that the 48 Republicans who support the bill care more about their Ag donors than their own constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=3739\">New Insider Trading Ban Barely Scratches The Surface As Congress Tries To Appease Americans<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chmielenski warned that SAWA would have a \u201cterrible effect\u201d on existing American agricultural workers. \u201cFor starters, it expands the H-2A agricultural guest worker program to include year-round jobs in dairy, logging, and more. It also caps annual adjustments to wages paid to guest workers, which will in turn reduce wages for American ag workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. certified nearly 400,000 visas through the H-2A program in fiscal year 2025.<\/p>\n<p>This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Republicans provided widespread amnesty for foreign agricultural workers. President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which reportedly granted over one million illegal aliens amnesty by 1992.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve tried this before in 1986, and it was a disaster,\u201d Chmielenski said. \u201cThe amnesty program was riddled with fraud, and the inadequate vetting resulted in one of the eventual 9\/11 terrorists receiving amnesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) also opposes the bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cH.R. 9535, the <em>Securing Agriculture\u2019s Workforce Act<\/em>, is nothing less than an amnesty for illegal alien workers that will encourage more illegal immigration,\u201d FAIR government relations director Joe Chatham told the DCNF. \u201cAs though that was not bad enough, the legislation would also fundamentally change our H-2A system by expanding the program and incentivizing even more industries to prop up cheap foreign labor instead of creating job opportunities for U.S. citizens and modernizing our workforce. FAIR stands in strong opposition to this bill, and will continue to fight for reforms that put the interests of Americans first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for SAWA\u2019s opponents, the bill\u2019s fate is still up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, SAWA was introduced after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Labor ruled that dairy farmers can hire H-2A workers, Western Livestock Journal reported June 26.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, President Donald Trump told Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese during a press conference Tuesday that he was unaware of SAWA and promised to \u201ctake a look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The House referred SAWA to the House Judiciary Committee on June 30, which chose to exclude the bill from its immigration package, NOTUS reported July 17.<\/p>\n<p>However, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio \u2014 who chairs the committee \u2014 told NOTUS that he is open to considering visa changes \u201cdown the road\u201d after the package is passed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remain confident in my belief that the Securing Agriculture\u2019s Workforce Act of 2026 is the best farm labor solution put forth in years,\u201d Thompson told NOTUS.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=3737\">EXCLUSIVE: Rep.
