Has an amendment on the floor under consideration. Would the gentleman yield . The chair recognizes himself and is happy to yield. Thank you, mr. Chairman. After reviewing the bill, i believe that at least for the foreseeable future the 410,000 plus 10 escalator is probably sufficient. I would like to work with the chairman further on defining that so that the safeguards be in place once this bill becomes law but i would ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment. Without objection, it is withdrawn. And let me just say to the gentleman, id be happy to work with him. Its important that purpose of the legislation is to assure that american agriculture has the workers it needs to continue to thrive in the United States and not diminish because they can go elsewhere to find laborers and produce Agricultural Products elsewhere in the world so im happy to work with the gentleman in that regard. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you. Are there further amendments to hr 4902 . I have an amend

This is Al Jazeera America live from new york city. Im richelle carey. A big boost today for Donald Trumps president ial bid.
