AgJobs in the balance

Sharon Hughes of the National Council of Agricultural Employers gave an update to the fruit and vegetable industry advisory committee this morning. She noted that Senate Democrats may try to attach AgJobs to the minimum wage bill next week. Failing that, it will be a longer process to bring AgJobs to the Senate floor.
Earlier this morning at the Monaco Hotel, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California told the NCAE annual meeting that comprehensive immigration reform seems to be falling apart, with increasing skepticism that the plan passed last year by the Senate could work. The idea that people in the country less than five years would go back to their home country is falling out of favor.
