4. Permanent Jobs for Agricultural Workers. S. 1639 offers an especially sweet deal for illegal agricultural workers once they obtain their Z-A visas. In Section 622 (b), the bill states, "No alien granted a Z-A visa may be terminated from employment by any employer during the period of a Z-A visa except for just cause."

Employers who dare to fire newly legalized aliens holding Z-A visas would do so at their own peril. The bill would create yet another administrative court system to review complaints by Z-A agricultural workers "who allege that they have been terminated without just cause." If the administrative hearing officer finds that the alien has established reasonable cause to believe that he was fired without just cause, the alien and the former employer must enter binding arbitration proceedings supervised by an arbitrator whose fees are paid by taxpayers. The burden is on the employer to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that he fired the alien for just cause. To give the alien yet another legal boost, this special administrative process is non-exclusive. In other words, the alien may sue the employer at the same time in state or federal court for damages if any relevant causes of action are available.

Conclusion

On top of an already complicated immigration court system, S. 1639 would layer a complex mix of parallel administrative courts with nebulous standards and vulnerabilities to fraud. This new system would be an immigration lawyer's playground. Absconders would see their cases reopened, and the addition of poorly drafted new statutory language to already voluminous immigration laws and regulations would make the Internal Revenue Code look simple.

Aside from the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens who would receive amnesty, the biggest beneficiaries of this legal morass are the immigration lawyers who would bill millions of dollars representing their clients as the cases drag on. That is not entirely surprising, because the American Immigration Lawyers Association reportedly played a central role in drafting the Senate bill. It is also a natural consequence when a bill is drafted behind closed doors and shielded from the normal process of committee scrutiny.

"LET" them pay taxes? Like we have been stopping them from doing that??

Wake up and smell the enchelada.
Hiring a Z-A card holder will be financial suicide but then again, it will be China's problem since they're buying USA while they export boatload by boatload in.

Generations ago, America was founded by people who WANTED to be Americans. Meet the new breed of foreigner immigrant. They ONLY WANT TO LIVE in America. They don't want to BE AMERICANS.

Legalize them and let them pay taxes just like the rest of us. and if you are so concerned with migrant workers maybe you should go be one. You could then complain about living 6-10 to a one bedroom shack with almost no money just to send what you make back to your family in other countries to help them. Jeez- do you not have anything else to do but hate? Maybe you should find God and learn to love and help your fellow man. Walk in their shoes and see if then you feel like what the government is proposing is wrong. And hey they will all take advantage of that visa because when you live in a shack and make half of minimum wage you have $5000 sitten available in a moment's notice.
Get real- stop hatred there is enough. This country was founded by immigrants and unless you have some native American blood in your veins- which i am sure you don;t then you have no right to say who should and should be here and what rights they should have. if it weren't for immigrants starting this great country you would not be able to sit here and have the right to complain on an open forum

Dude, I will pay careful attention to the vote on this bill.
Should it pass, that means that American Citizens are placed last in importance to foreigners as far as OUR rights go.

Sounds like a just cause not to hire those who hold those cards!
