AGC Chapters and Members Urge Action on Guest Worker Bill in House

This week, AGC chapters and members in Texas and Arizona signed onto letters delivered to certain members of the House urging support for the Poe-Labrador guest worker bill. The House may consider the bill sometime this fall.  The letters were also signed by companies, associations and individuals from agriculture, education and the broader business community. AGC is encouraging its members to take the upcoming congressional recess to meet and speak with their Representatives on the need to pass immigration reform. The five-week break is the perfect opportunity to use AGC’s Legislative Action center, attend town hall meetings or make in person visits. In conjunction with the annual recess AGC will be providing grassroots toolkits for members to be effective advocates of immigration reform.
