Cruz spars with Agriculture Secretary Vilsack on amnesty bill, call his answers 'fertilizer'
Fox News
Sen. Cruz had a fiery exchange with Agriculture Secretary Vilsack over the border crisis and efforts to pass a farm reform bill that includes an amnesty for illegal immigrant workers.
It is one of a number of legislative efforts by Democrats to pass amnesty for a variety of groups of illegal immigrants, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, where Democrats say America relied on immigrant front-line workers – many of whom are here illegally. "Farmworkers not only deserve a path to legal status, they are vital to our economic future," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said.More Related News
