Mr. President. I submit an amendment regarding reforms to the H2A Temporary Agricultural Workers Program. Let me start by publicly thanking my good friend. AL SIMPSON. The senior Senator from Wyoming has been tireless in his efforts to maneuver immigration legislation through the 104th Congress. While. I am very appreciative of his efforts in general. I want to address an issue that is of utmost importance to this countrys farmers and ranchers. That issue is the impact of immigration reform on the supply of agricultural labor. There is very real concern among Idaho farmers and throughout the countryside that these reforms will reduce the availability of agricultural workers. Farmers need access to an adequate supply of workers and want to have certainty that they are hiring a legal work force.
