At the earliest possible moment, Senators Feinstein and Larry Craig want to offer AgJOBS as an amendment to the fence bill. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D., (R-Tenn.) will try to stop this from occurring. He is siding with the House Republicans who want enforcement-only. Please contact Senator Feinstein and ask her to keep up the good work.
Today the U.S. is considering the Secure Fence Act of 2006 which will authorize the building of over 700 miles of two-layered reinforced fencing along the southwest border and mandate a virtual fence of ground sensors, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and will further militarize the border.
* There is a crisis in the fields. Workers need relief and a legal way to work in agriculture.
* We need AgJOBS now.
* We can’t continue to allow enforcement-only solutions to pass.
* We need real solutions – like AgJOBS.
* THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
