Human Resources Labor & Immigration Agricultural employers in the United States face a shortage of available domestic workers and subsequently require a dependable source to obtain foreign workers. The H-2A program has seasonal implications that impact the usability of the program by all agriculture segments. Proposals to address these implications through legislation have created certain proposed inconsistencies between livestock industries. CLA supports a guest worker program that provides work authorization for a minimum of three years and treats all segments of the livestock industry fairly and consistently. Colorado Compact The Colorado Livestock Association was one of the original signatories on the Colorado Compact, a bi-partisan effort to find a solution to immigration reform for Colorado businesses. CLA continues to be engaged in discussions with this group and is a member of the Colorado Business Coalition for Immigration Solutions a group of more than 45 businesses, industry, and trade organizations focused on the economic and business case for a modernized immigration system.
