farmworker

Empacadores de carne, trabajadores agrícolas y todos los trabajadores quienes eran indocumentados, pero tenían hijos nacidos en los Estados Unidos fueron excluidos en recibir los cheques de estimulo de la pandemia

Meatpackers, farmworkers, as all workers, who were undocumented but had American-born children, were among those excluded from receiving COVID-19 stimulus checks.

New enrollment for the state's health insurance program for poor noncitizens was suspended for adults 42 to 64 years old in July. Farmworkers, among them undocumented residents and H-2A visa holders, were some of the workers impacted by the pause in enrollment.

To reach farmworkers, clinic staff set up on farms and ranches throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. But to do so, they need permission from the employer.
