lujan: thank you, chairman -- mr. lieu: thank you, chairman aguilar. leader jeffries has a 10-point plan to fight against the trump administration. there's going to be a legislative strategy, a mobilization strategy, and a litigation strategy. to that end, over 25 lawsuits have already been filed. we expect that a number of these actions by the trump administration will be reversed because all the courts have to do is follow the law. and in fact if you look at what happened, a number of trump actions have been stopped or the administration has simply folded. the administration wants to you think they are invincible, that they are just rolling right along to do all of these things. that is simply not true. a number of times they have been stopped and they have had to back down. for example, on the birth right citizenship order, a reagan-appointed federal judge declared it unconstitutional, put it an injunction on it. then with the o.m.b. freeze memo, there's pushback from democrats, from the american people, and they had to rescind that memo and a judge

mr. duvall: yes, our number is 40%. sen. lujan you think our farmers, ranchers who depend on that labor will survive when roughly half the workforce is unavailable? mr. duvall: first i would like to say our farmers want a system that they can work within the law and have a consistent workforce so they can deliver their crops on time with quality . and your question? sen. lujan: sen. lujan: i sen. lujan: will use your number. what happens if 40% of the workforce for farmers and ranchers disappears? mr. duvall: it would be devastating to agriculture. you would see farmers go out of business and we could see interruption to our food system like we saw in covid. sen. lujan: this is an area i think we can work on. one of the strongest bipartisan bills that came out of the house recently was with farmworkers, with agriculture, finding a way to get that done. unfortunately we didn't get it through the senate, but it's one of those tools we can look at and make sure we have a stronger system. we can do it by investing in border security.
