Proposal would legalize farm workers
To qualify for temporary legal status, lawmakers said, workers would have to prove 100 days of agricultural employment in the 18-month period that ended Aug. 31 and meet certain other conditions. Then, to obtain a "green card," which signifies permanent residence in the United States, they would have to show 360 days of additional farm work over six years.
