We have an opportunity to do something about it. I am joined on the floor by Senator Larry Craig of the State of Idaho who is the main author of the AgJOBS Program. In the Judiciary Committee in the immigration bill. we revised AgJOBS and it was part of the Senatepassed immigration bill. Along with AgJOBS. we have reformed the agricultural guest worker program called H2A. These two programs combine to give the farmers of America the certitude they need that there will. in fact. be a workforce able to harvest their crops. plant their crops. prune. cut. pack. and sort crops in this great country. In my State we have roughly 350 different crops: lemons. tomatoes. raisins. lettuce. prunes. onions. cotton. and many others that are grown all across the State.
