i called for a hearing with my friend and colleague, senator alex padilla, a california senator, on farm labor, farm workers. the reason we wanted to call this was because it was not only timely, but we have received a bill from the house of representatives which they passed on a bipartisan basis to rewrite the laws on farm workers. they did a great job. i want to commend them for the effort in sending this legislation our way, this bipartisan legislation with 30 republicans joining most of the house democrats to enact it in the house of representatives. and now it's over on our side of the rotunda. it is a timely and important question. we estimate that there are 2.4 million migrants who come to the united states each year to plant and to pick our crops, to milk the cows, to process the food, to work in poultry and meat processing. and without them, these industries would struggle to survive. that's not my analysis. it's the analysis of the american farm bureau and many other organizations that represent agriculture in america. of the 2.4 million who come to the united states to pick th
