main comprehensive immigration reform proposals and how they affect
farmworkers, please see the links below:
September 30, 2005:
Immigration Policy Brief No. 3: Contains articles on April 19,
2005 Senate vote on AgJOBS; summaries of the
Kennedy-McCain comprehensive immigration bill, Rep.
Jackson Lee’s bill, and the
Cornyn-Kyl bill.
February 9, 2006:
Summary of Sen. Hagel (R.-Neb.) proposal for comprehensive
immigration reform.
September 5, 2006: Although the
Hutchison-Pence immigration proposal was hailed as a great
compromise that could help bring about negotiations, it has not yet
done so. Our attached analysis of the
Hutchison-Pence proposal shows that it is unrealistic,
unworkable, and bad for workers.

immigration bill, HR 4437 (the Sensenbrenner bill) go to:
