Yet. if the Senator from Georgia had come to California. our Nations largest agricultural State. he would have heard from farmers who desperately need and want the AgJobs bill passed now. And they are not alone. Farmers in States experiencing labor shortages in Idaho. Washington. New York and Florida. among others. want this bill. as do a broad coalition of proagriculture groups. The H2A program is badly in need of reform. and the AgJOBS bill. which the Senate has already passed with more than 60 votes. enacts those meaningful reforms. These AgJobs will save users money. simplify the program. streamline the litigation process. and bring stability to our nations agricultural work force. And third. we also failed to stand up for fair and smooth elections.
