I dont believe the growers need a special program to provide their labor force. I believe the growers should be subject to the rigors of a competitive employment market like every other industry in this country is. But it has become clear to me that the growers will end up either getting a special program in any immigration bill we pass or will use their muscle to keep us from passing one. The Schumer compromise is the only guestworker program that very creative. dedicated. and persistent colleagues and staff members have been able to come up with that the growers will accept that does not make serfs out of people who grow our crops for us. It makes people who worked in U.S. agriculture for a major part of last years growing season available to the growersnot as serfs who have no rights. but as temporary legal residents.
