HR 9312 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to include the processing of crawfish as agricultural labor or services, and for other purposes.

This bill amends federal immigration laws to officially classify crawfish processing as agricultural labor. It directly affects workers involved in washing, sorting, grading, boiling, peeling, and transporting crawfish, allowing them to be treated similarly to those working in apple cider production. By adding these specific tasks to the legal definition of agricultural services, the legislation ensures that individuals performing this work can access the same visa categories available to other farm laborers. The change is a straightforward update to existing statutes without altering other immigration rules or creating new programs.
