A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a bill that would make it easier for American farmers to hire foreign workers and let some farm workers who are here illegally become legal residents.

U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, the Republican who represents eastern Idaho in Congress, was part of the group involved in crafting the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, and said he has had constituents asking him to fix America’s immigration system since he first entered Congress.

The Idaho Press reports, the bill’s 44 House co-sponsors include 24 Democrats and 20 Republicans, and its supporters have said it is a bipartisan compromise.

The bill would let people who can demonstrate at least 180 days of agricultural employment and can pass a background check get five-year renewable work visas.

The bill also would make changes to the existing H-2A visa program, streamlining the process.
