Farm Workforce Modernization Act
"If anything is going to get done, we need to do it in a bipartisan fashion...Addressing ag through the Farm Workforce Modernization Act can be a model for addressing other immigration issues. This is the right thing to do, not just for our workers, but also for our economy."
I was grateful to join the American Business Immigration Coalition to discuss the need for the Farm Workforce Modernization Act. The FWMA is an important step in providing workforce security for Idaho's producers.
Thank you to Senator Crapo and his colleagues for keeping the momentum going in the Senate!
