The American Dairy Coalition’s top official says Friday’s failed House farm bill vote might help deliver changes in immigration law they need.
CEO Laurie Fischer says, “There isn’t any indication that there will be a vote this week on the farm bill but we do believe that we’ll see it come back in June. We also believe now that we will see that the Goodlatte bill will be brought to the floor.”
Fischer says Congressman Bob Goodlatte’s Securing America’s Future Act includes his Ag Act, which allows the creation of an H-2C year-round worker visa program for agriculture.
