Episode Details

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is sounding the alarm over a controversial new federal bill that could reshape the H-2A visa program — turning it into a de-facto amnesty for undocumented farmworkers. The “Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act of 2026” would expand eligible jobs beyond seasonal work and let undocumented workers already in the U.S. access the program — sparking outrage from DeSantis, who argues it’s not what voters wanted. While the bill aims to stabilize wages and improve farm labor access through digital tools, critics fear it undermines immigration policy. The legislation is still moving through Congress — and if passed, would take effect a year later.
