Read this article as an example:

Congress Hears Ag's Immigration Trouble - 10/4/2007

WASHINGTON (DTN) -- Agricultural labor is in a crisis right now due to controversies over immigration and Congress is offering few solutions to deal with the situation, groups told the House Agricultural Committee on Thursday...Staff for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call earlier this week that Feinstein is examining options for attaching AGJOBS to the farm bill.

Will DO!

Consider it done!!! Added to my monday morning list!

Thanks April, Sosad, and everyone! It's good that the senators start hearing from the good, honest, hardworking American people on this.

The Senate is closed today (Monday) for Columbus Day but we can still leave messages opposing the AgJOBS and Dream Act amnesties! As you all know, we have to cut through the MSM sob stories to make the voices of the American people heard!!

Funny, I have not seen a shortage of farm workers around the Central Valley of CA. Almost all the crops are finished and all looks good. We raise almonds and had no problems. We are highly mechanized but still need labor to prune, etc.

I have called and emailed Feinstein and Boxer on this issue. Let's keep the ball rolling. We can't stop here.

Interesting points and good to hear this Cakers. We've been bombarded with MSM stories of "crops rotting in the field."

Here is a link to the advocacy and action page of "Farmworker Justice" supporters of AgJOBS amnesty. Worth a look to see what they are saying and twisting:
