Their masters want that sweet de facto slave labor.
We have no advocates in government.

No, that is false. The bill does not grant citizenship or create a path to naturalization. The legislation, introduced by House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson, focuses strictly on reforming temporary non-immigrant agricultural visas through the H-2A program. No Citizenship or Green Cards: H-2A is a temporary, non-immigrant work visa program. The bill explicitly retains the existing legal structure: workers holding an H-2A visa receive lawful, temporary status to work in agriculture for a contract period (up to 350 days), but it does not give them a green card or a pathway to U.S. citizenship.

Illegal immigrant agricultural workers are worthy of amnesty but the illegal immigrant dude roofing my house isn't? What about the illegal mamacita straightening up my hotel room or the illegal hombre in the back of the restaurant cooking my meal?
This ^^^ is why there should be zero amnesty for any illegal immigrants currently in the US.

Yep. There are several places that utilize these. When I vacayed up in the mountains of Colorado, they had some young Eastern European girls doing this. They are required to return home periodically and then can file and come back. The one we encountered said she intended to do just that.
The people willing to do this are not the types you worry about stealing and killing

It applies to worker visas not citizenship. There are many agricultural jobs that simply won’t get done without migrant labor. Making it easier for them to obtain legal work status in the US is a great idea.
These aren’t the people we need out of the US.
And for those claiming they’re slave labor, you don’t have a clue. The ag businesses have been utilizing migrant labor for a long time and the quality of their work is almost always far superior to any local labor and they’re paid for it because if you don’t pay them, the farmer down the road will.

There is no active federal law granting amnesty to undocumented agricultural workers. While previous legislative proposals like the Farm Workforce Modernization Act sought to provide legal status, the current administration explicitly opposes amnesty and emphasizes strategic deportations and a transition toward a domestic and automated workforce.
Key points regarding the status of undocumented agricultural workers include:
No Blanket Amnesty: The current administration maintains a "no amnesty" policy. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has reiterated that the government will not grant amnesty to undocumented migrants, while also aiming to execute deportations strategically to avoid disrupting the U.S. food supply.

Amnesty for undocumented farmworkers is a highly debated issue, and Republican lawmakers are not pushing to add blanket amnesty to the new Farm Bill. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Instead, the legislative focus has been heavily divided on how to manage the agricultural labor crisis without providing legal residency. Here is where the debate currently stands:
1. The Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act (SAWA)
In late June, House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA) introduced the bipartisan Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act (SAWA). This bill is designed to expand H-2A visas and control costs for farmers who need seasonal workers. However, Chairman Thompson and co-sponsoring Republicans specifically designed this legislation to avoid any form of amnesty, keeping H-2A strictly as a temporary guest-worker program.
