Benefits. and Security Act of 2007. I commend them and Representatives HOWARD BERMAN and CHRIS CANNON for their bipartisan leadership and am pleased to be part to this landmark legislation. The bill reflects a farreaching and welcome agreement between the United Farm Workers and the agricultural industry. one of the most difficult immigration challenges we face. and we in Congress should make the most of this unique opportunity for progress. America has a proud tradition as a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. But our current immigration laws have failed us on both counts. Much of the Nations economy today depends on the hard work and the many contributions of immigrants. The agricultural industry would grind to a halt without immigrant farm workers. Yet. the overwhelming majority of these workers lack legal status. and thus can be easily exploited by unscrupulous employers. The Agricultural Jobs.
