A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to facilitate the admission of aliens for temporary agricultural employment.

Summary

Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exclude from the definition of "immigrant" those persons with a permanent foreign residence coming temporarily to the United States to perform agricultural work, if the Secretary of Agriculture has determined and certified to the Attorney General that there are not sufficient workers available at the aliens' destination who are willing and able to do such work, and wages and working conditions will not be adversely affected. Requires the Secretary, upon an employer's request for such alien workers, to refer domestic workers to such employer, or certify such alien workers, within 20 days. Sets forth a procedure for an employer to challenge the qualifications of any such referred domestic workers.
