INDIANA ILLEGALS STRIKE AGAIN
It’s none other than @RepJimBaird and @RepMessmer aiding and abetting the Illegals to grant legal status to undocumented legal status to undocumented agricultural laborers.
Oh yes, both men are co-sponsoring HB 9535, filed on June 30, 2026.
This would include a free ride to the meat processing workers at the Tyson Plant in Logansport, which made headlines recently as a huge draw for Haitian immigrant workers with temporary protected status.
Recall, when Messmer was an Indiana house representative, he sponsored legislation to permit “driving cards” to illegals. His lobbying sponsor, @AIPAC continues to provide significant financial support in excess of $4 million in campaign contributions to align with his Israel 🇮🇱 supporters.
Indiana voters continue to be duped by fake America First RINOS that align themselves with illegals over Hoosiers.
HR9535
H.R. 9535, officially titled the Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act of 2026, is a bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on June 30, 2026, by Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA-15), Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee.

It primarily aims to modernize and streamline the H-2A temporary agricultural worker visa program (nonimmigrant visas for foreign workers in agriculture when U.S. workers are unavailable).
The bill addresses labor shortages in farming, dairy, livestock, and other year-round agricultural operations.
Key Provisions
The bill makes several changes to the H-2A program under the Immigration and Nationality Act: Expands eligibility beyond seasonal work: Removes the strict “seasonal” requirement and allows “temporary” work (contracts generally under 350 days). This helps year-round operations like dairy farms.
Streamlines the process: Faster labor certifications (within 30 days if requirements are met), certifications valid for up to 3 years, an online single-point platform for applications, joint employer filings, worker transfers between employers, and staggered entry/exit dates.
Employer and worker protections/flexibility: Updated housing standards and longer-valid inspections, heat illness prevention plans, force majeure provisions for disasters, and clearer rules on wages (including Adverse Effect Wage Rate based on surveys to protect U.S. workers).
Agency roles: Shifts some administration (e.g., petitions) more toward the Department of Homeland Security for efficiency.
Other: Requires a GAO review on housing and enforcement; effective one year after enactment (with possible interim rules).
Supporters (including major agricultural groups like the American Farm Bureau Federation, dairy coalitions, and Western Growers) argue it provides farmers with a reliable legal workforce, reduces bureaucracy and costs, prevents harvest disruptions, and strengthens U.S. food security without broadly changing immigration policy.

The “Amnesty” Controversy Critics, particularly conservative voices and some immigration enforcement advocates, have labeled parts of the bill an “amnesty” measure. This refers to a specific, narrow provision in Section 2 (amending INA Section 218(h)(7)):It creates a limited waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility and deportability (related to unlawful entry, presence, document issues, etc.) for aliens seeking H-2A status.
Eligible individuals must meet one of these: Have voluntarily departed the U.S., or
Were unlawfully present in the U.S. on May 31, 2026, and performed agricultural labor or services for at least 5.75 hours on each of at least 180 days during the 2-year period ending on the date of enactment.
The waiver applies only to conduct related to obtaining agricultural employment (not broader crimes or pursuit of public benefits). It allows these workers to apply for and receive H-2A temporary status if otherwise eligible, with employer record protections during the transition.

Important limitations:
This is not a path to citizenship, permanent residency (green card), or broad legalization.
It is a one-time transition mechanism tied to a specific cutoff date and strict work history requirement (roughly significant part-time or full-time equivalent farm work over two years).
It does not apply to all unauthorized immigrants—only those meeting the narrow agricultural work threshold.
Employers providing qualifying records gain liability protections for prior unauthorized employment in this context.
Critics argue it rewards illegal presence and work, undermines enforcement, and could pressure wages or displace American workers. Some have called for primaries against cosponsors.

Supporters describe it as a practical, targeted fix to retain experienced workers during the shift to a modernized legal H-2A system, avoiding sudden farm labor shortages or mass disruptions.Current Status (as of July 2026)Introduced June 30, 2026.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Approximately 51 cosponsors (mostly Republicans, with a small number of Democrats).
Early stage with a low estimated chance of enactment (around 3% per tracking sites).
No further major actions reported.
The bill is not a standalone comprehensive amnesty or immigration reform package. Its core focus is targeted H-2A modernization with one narrow transition provision for long-term farm workers.
