House debates seasonal labor bill - By Makiko Kitamura, Greeley Tribune, CO
Drafted with the help of the United Farm Workers union, the guest-worker provision would give temporary legal status to agricultural migrant workers who have toiled in the U.S. for 150 days within a two-year period, ending Dec. 31, 2005.
Workers who have no criminal record and can prove their employment history would be granted a temporary 'blue card,' even if they entered the country illegally. Those who continued to work in the U.S. could gain permanent residency and eventually apply for citizenship.------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
