White House Meeting on Immigration Policy: Work to Do

Written by Bruce Goldstein Friday, 26 June 2009 07:42

President Obama met with key members of Congress on Thursday to say he wants bipartisan comprehensive immigration legislation passed, but earlier Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said that at the moment the votes are not there to pass it.  So there is work to do.  The AgJOBS farmworker immigration bill, which has been updated and improved, has bipartisan support and the coalition of growers and farmworker advocates has hung together.  For more information on the AgJOBS legislation, see our AgJOBS page on our main web site.
