Bush seeks to overhaul guest-worker program
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2008
The Bush administration is seeking to overhaul America's agricultural guest-worker program to legally allow more foreign laborers into the country to harvest crops.
Since the government's recent crackdown on illegal immigration, there has been a shortage of farmworkers nationally to harvest fruits and vegetables.
When immigration-reform legislation failed to pass Congress last summer, the White House said it would address some immigration challenges administratively. Altering the farmworker program is one attempt.
