Legal domestic workers are left without better benefits such as transportation reimbursement or assistance with housing needs. Let's make our system more efficient, more rational, and put the smugglers and others out of business. Our nation was built and strengthened by the hard work of our farmers and farmworkers. This Congress, I am willing to work with all sides to move forward on developing a legal, stable, workforce that benefits all American families. Farmworkers deserve an improved life.
Farmers deserve our attention to one of their most pressing needs.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
