Mr. President. we recognize the need for a fence. We recognize the need for border security. But as we speak. American agriculture is losing somewhere between $1 billion and $5 billion at the farm gate because our southern border is closing. We have troops at the border. We are investing now nearly $2 billion a year at the border. This Congress. this Government. wants to prove. as we must. to the American people that we mean it when we say we are going to secure our southern border. But I have said for 2 years that. in doing that. we had to tie the cart and the horse together. that is. we needed to provide for the American economy a legal guestworker program.
