It has nothing to do with the most cherished prize in the world. and that is the citizenship of the United States of America. Senator CRAIG is my friend. and I appreciate his hard work for the last 5 years or whatever it has been. I had my first vote on modifying H2A in the House of Representatives 11 years ago. That is how long I have been working on this issue. When he says H2A does not work. he is wrong. H2A does work. But what this base bill does is it encourages farmers--and I emphasize thisit encourages farmers to hire illegal workers. and they are going to do that unless we give them the incentive to hire legal workers. The H2A program will work if we continue to modify it and make it better. streamline it. and allow our farmers to have a quality pool of workers under H2A. Mr. President.
