Immigration reform no closer to reality despite the spotlight – Produce Blue Book

The U.S. House of Representatives expect to pass the Farm Modernization Workforce Act as soon as Thursday, March 18. The produce industry has supported the legislation as a first step in securing a legal workforce. While the bill also passed the House in the last Congress, it looks unlikely to pass the Senate, which didn’t even take it up last Congress. The Democrats now control the Senate, unlike last Congress, but most bills still need 60 votes to pass, which is something Robert Guenther, senior vice president of public policy for United Fresh Produce Association BB #:145458, calls “an uphill battle.”
