Mr. President. I thank the Senator for his response. The fact is we have a pilot program that is part of the immigration bill that would provide over a 5year period 1.5 million undocumented workers the opportunity to become documented. and provided they do agricultural work for a period of time. over time. to earn a green card. In discussing this with some Members they said they would agree if it were a temporary program. Well. it is a temporary program. because it sunsets in 5 years. I believe. and the Senator from Idaho will correct me if I am wrong. we would be prepared to change that sunset from 5 years to 2 years. or a time that would bring about concurrence from the Members.
