This bill, disguised as a &#8220;path to citizenship&#8221;for farmworkers, would expand the exploitive H-2A guestworker program and establish the E-Verify system for the surveillance of workers&#8217; documentation-status. ALL farmworkers deserve the right to citizenship, protection, dignity, human rights, and food sovereignty&#8211; and a long path to citizenship with many strings attached and that only applies to&nbsp;<em>some&nbsp;<\/em>workers will never be the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an excerpt from the <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/Community2Community\/?tsid=0.8336869122957673&amp;source=result\">C2C facebook page<\/a>: &#8220;C2C OPPOSES the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (HR-1603) &#8211; even the name is bad.
