Joining his Nebraska congressional colleagues in the search for solutions to U.S. immigration problems, U.S. Rep. Tom Osborne’s new bill would require illegal immigrants to briefly return home before coming back with new U.S. work visas.
His guest worker proposal wouldn’t lead to U.S. citizenship, but the new, so-called “W” visas could be renewed indefinitely.
“Particularly if you look at our ag sector, Nebraska would be in a world of trouble if we didn’t have a lot of these workers here,” said Osborne, who’s seeking the GOP gubernatorial nomination rather than a fourth House term.
