What it does
The bill would transfer responsibility for administering the H–2A agricultural worker visa program from the Secretary of Labor to the Secretary of Agriculture, while also shifting certain enforcement duties from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security. It affects the H–2A program, which allows foreign workers to fill temporary agricultural jobs in the United States, and would require the Secretary of Labor to transfer personnel, funding, and materials to the Secretary of Agriculture within 60 days of enactment. The changes would take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law.
