Did we have any experts talk about what an impact it might have on wages? No. it was just slipped in. Hopefully. somehow we can move the war supplemental in a way that does not create a debate over immigration in the Senate. I dont think it is the right thing to do. This legislation should not be attached to it. I oppose the AgJOBS lite as vigorously as possible. and I believe the H2B returning worker number is far larger than it needs to be. I have discussed trying to work out something of a reasonable nature previously. but I was surprised to see this broad piece of legislation be attached to the war supplemental. I yield the floor.
