Migrant farm workers put food on our tables & kept grocery stores stocked throughout a global pandemic. Their work is essential.
Today, I'm joining workers with and in the fields for a day in their boots.

Farm workers—and all immigrant essential workers —deserve respect, security & a path to citizenship.
That’s why I introduced the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act to provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who worked as essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As I experienced firsthand, farm workers have one of the hardest jobs in America. They are the backbone of our economy.
I support the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants who call America home.

Speaking from experience…. Breaks, overtime, sick pay and minimum wage laws may not be followed because there is no recourse for the worker…migrant workers have difficulty with their healthcare needs which interferes with continuity of care for serious healthcare. Help them.

Are you actually going to work a full day? Why not try working a full week in their shoes.
