CDM strongly opposes the Trump Administration's new wage calculations that would reduce farmworkers' wages by $5,500 per year. Farmworkers are already some of the lowest paid workers in the US, and these new wage determinations would make it harder for them to make ends meet.

ICYMI: This World Cup is bound to be remembered as unsafe, unfair, and unaffordable. But we’ll continue to support workers facing abuse through Contratados and our binational hotline (Mex: 55-9661-6771 / U.S.: 667 217-5738). https://t.co/byXahSvjS4

CDM welcomes the growing calls to rethink U.S. immigration policy and enforcement. With global attention focused on North America because of the World Cup, we must keep fighting to advance policies that uphold human rights and protect migrant communities. https://t.co/BnKBX2aZAK

We need to stop expanding a broken system and build a labor migration model rooted in rights, freedom, and dignity for all workers.

Guestworker programs have a long history of trapping workers in abusive conditions and undermining labor standards for everyone. @TIME

⚽ Defending Workers' Rights at Kickoff and Beyond ⚽
FIFA fell short in its commitment to protect human rights. Because of that, this World Cup is bound to be remembered as unsafe, unfair and unaffordable.

Nuestra Directora de Asuntos Legales e Incidencia, Julia Solórzano, y Carol Brooke, de @ncjustice, expusieron en Carolinas Informadas los abusos que plagan los programas de trabajo temporal y explicaron cómo los trabajadores pueden defender sus derechos. https://t.co/5W6QhQYSy8

We call on members of the House Committee on Appropriations to stand up for the rights, dignity, and freedoms of all workers by rejecting this harmful legislation.

[Centro de los Derechos del Migrante @CDMigrante]

As a member of @MigrationthtWks, we urge members of the House Committee on Appropriations to vote NO🚫 on the FY27 Homeland Security appropriations bill. https://t.co/5XBim5PSLU

The bill would provide additional funding for ICE and CBP's already bloated budgets while dramatically expanding flawed guest worker programs.
Too often, employers and corporations use guest worker programs to suppress wages and weaken working conditions for all workers.

“Having workers tied to an employer for their legal status, their wages, working conditions, their ability to return, creates such a power differential that really exacerbates vulnerability to forced labor” — Rachel Micah-Jones https://t.co/qQdDuriMQr

Today from me: The Trump administration is squeezing almost every legal immigration path into the U.S. Except one: H-2A visas for guest farmworkers. That program is getting cheaper and easier to use.

The problem is, it's long been plagued with labor abuses.

We need a labor migration system that works for everyone. Will you help us build one? Read the full report: https://t.co/6evwsZ5oLc

[Centro de los Derechos del Migrante @CDMigrante]

Our report Ripe for Reform shows how a flawed labor migration system leads to widespread worker abuse and exploitation:
- Wage theft
- Inhumane housing
- Retaliation
- Discrimination
- Forced labor
- Human trafficking

We must move away from a system defined by power imbalances and exploitation toward a labor migration model rooted in fairness, freedom, and equality.

We’re at #WRD2026 by @jwjnational. We’ve been listening to inspiring stories and learning from the experiences and strategies that allies in labor unions are using.

Human rights are on the line at this FIFA World Cup. We join @AFLCIO in demanding that host countries, host cities and FIFA guarantee a safe and accessible World Cup for workers, players and fans.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

America’s unions are calling on FIFA leadership to keep ICE out of World Cup host cities during the games.

The Trump administration's immigration enforcement poses a serious risk to the thousands of World Cup workers. https://t.co/Nf7G0Ibxra
