Very good news

Sharon Hughes of the NCAE said the the compromise comprehensive immigration deal is indeed very good news. The language is bring written this weekend and Ag Jobs is not being grafted in completely but being interwoven in the act. She said Sens. Chambliss, Feinstein and Craig got together and ironed out a few remaining points of contention related to AgJobs. The fact that Chambliss is on board may mean he can bring other Southern GOP senators with him.
While there may be some resistance in the House, she said the fact that so many people have wanted this agreement for so long - and the fact industry is on board - should mean the bill should reach the President's desk by July.
