"He said he expects California Sen. Dianne Feinstein will introduce a bill, most often referred to as the Ag Jobs bill, by spring."

"Gempler said estimates are that as much as 70 percent of the farm labor force lacks documents."

Good, as long as DREAM also passes sometime this spring. I don't think AgJobs will edge out DREAM. The two are widely seen as twin down payments on a larger reform effort.

If that comes thru by spring, DREAM most likely will be attached to it. So i hope this is true.

Anyone can introduce a bill, so i don't see the big deal in introducing agjobs by spring. I even hope dream is introduced this month by durbin.

Btw, durbin is going to introduce dream by itself...he always does.
