Re: Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Date: December 6, 2005
As mentioned in our November 8th memo, Congress is expected to make
immigration reform a key issue in the upcoming weeks and months. Given
the
political climate of wanting to take a strong stance on illegal
immigrants,
homeland security and border control, we expect Congress to consider
several
"enforcement first" bills that will focus primarily on tightening our
borders and implementing strict enforcement policies against illegal
immigrants and American employers that hire them. The American Horse
Council sup****ts border security , but we are concerned the
"enforcement-only" approach may overwhelm the attempt at needed reform.
Therefore, we ask them to sup****t comprehensive immigration reform that
includes a practical foreign-worker program.
The issue of comprehensive immigration and guest worker reform is
im****tant
to the horse industry and the agriculture industry at large. Breeders,
ranchers, training facilities and others depend on seasonal and long-term
foreign workers who fill labor demands not met by American workers.
The most common government programs that the horse industry uses to hire
legal foreign workers are the H-2A program for agricultural and livestock
workers and the H-2B program used by trainers, shows and non-agricultural
sectors.
Many American employers seek comprehensive immigration/guest worker reform
as a way to legitimize their workforce and meet their own labor demands.
An
enforcement-only approach to this issue would have severe adverse affects
on
American businesses and those local communities dependent upon the
business
that the agriculture/living stock industries produce.
Please contact your Senators and Representatives about the im****tance of
comprehensive immigration reform, reform that includes a practical
foreign-worker policy.
Attached is a sample letter to your Representatives and Senators which we
encourage you to personalize and fax to your representatives' Wa****ngton,
D.C. offices. If you need the contact information for your Senators and
Representatives, please visit the House and Senate websites at
www.house.gov
and www.senate.gov.
We also encourage you to contact their offices by phone and ask them to
sup****t "comprehensive immigration reform."
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Derek Myers at the
American Horse Council at (202) 296-4031. Thank you for your sup****t.
