Chairman. I rise in strong support of the PomboChambliss amendment. This amendment is vital to the success of immigration reform. Without this amendment immigration reform could have the unintended consequence of causing a widespread labor shortage for American agriculture. That in turn could cause the industry to lose valuable markets to foreign competition and could cause hardships to millions of American consumers by raising the cost of the food they buy. The PomboChambliss amendment creates a new H2B guest worker program that is farmer friendly. while respecting our need to control immigration. Simply put. It would allow workers to enter our country on a temporary basis and return to their country when their term of employment is over.
