Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of immigration reform legislation. and I want to commend my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee. both on the majority and minority side. for bringing this compromise before the House. Mr. Chairman. I would like to spend the few minutes I have detailing one section of the bill which is noncontroversialthe reforms of the H2 program. I was pleased to work actively with the gentleman from California in crafting these provisions. In cooperation with the interested parties. we reached a useful agreement. The H2 compromise balances the competing interests of growers of nonperishable crops. domestic farmworkers and foreign H2 workers.
