Dianne Feinstein: “What this does, and I quote from the amendment: Independent contractors, agricultural associations and such similar…”

On the recordJuly 23, 1998
What this does, and I quote from the amendment: Independent contractors, agricultural associations and such similar entities shall be subject to a cap on the number of H2-A visas that they may sponsor at the discretion of the Secretary of Labor. This would give the Secretary of Labor the opportunity to see that there is a reasonable number attached to this limited processing time because with the limited processing time, if you apply for 50,000 people, as could well be the case in California, you would not be able to meet the processing deadline.
