I have stood on this floor 1 year2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9going on 10 years. fighting to increase the minimum wage. How could I possibly vote to keep in this bill a guest worker program when we have such an opportunity to strengthen this bill by stripping this out. It would leave us with a bill with tighter enforcement at the border. a humane. legal path for people who are living in the shadowsit will make us safer to get them out of the shadows. that is for surean AgJOBS program that is tailored to agriculture in a way that makes sense. and all those visa programs that address high skilled jobs? All that makes sense. I commend the committee for giving us a chance craft such a bill.
