                FARM WORKFORCE MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2019

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 5038) to amend the Immigration and 
Nationality Act to provide for terms and conditions for nonimmigrant 
workers performing agricultural labor or services, and for other 
purposes, will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. BIGGS. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. BIGGS. I am in its current form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Biggs moves to recommit the bill H.R. 5038 to the 
     Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       Page 112, strike line 10 and all that follows through page 
     115, line 11 (and redesignate provisions accordingly).

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Arizona is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. BIGGS. Madam Speaker, in its current form, H.R. 5038 would 
subject growers to a new private right of action in Federal court. As a 
result, these employers would face countless frivolous lawsuits and 
higher costs in the form of damages and other litigation costs.
  The bottom line is that many American farmers and other agricultural 
employers would be sued right out of business. This provision is one of 
the main reasons that, arguably, the biggest agricultural group in the 
world, the American Farm Bureau, does not support this bill.
  Our motion to recommit would simply strike sections 204(a) and (b) of 
the bill. This motion to recommit is supported by the American Farm 
Bureau, and I ask all Members to support it as well.
  As a technical matter, Madam Speaker, we seek to recommit this bill 
to the Judiciary Committee. And that is interesting to me, and I think 
it should be of interest to all of us here because, in just a few 
hours, that committee is going to meet on a completely bogus Articles 
of Impeachment, where we will consider that there.
  Over a week ago, every Republican member of the Judiciary Committee 
signed a letter to request a minority day hearing.
  We are going to have the markup in 2 hours, and we haven't had the 
minority hearing yet, with no intention, I guess, of allowing the 
minority its rights under the rules.
  Specifically, clause(2)(j)(1) of House rule XI states: ``Whenever a 
hearing is conducted by a committee on a measure or matter, the 
minority members of the committee shall be entitled, upon request to 
the chairman by a majority of them before the completion of the 
hearing, to call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with 
respect to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearing 
thereon.''
  And here we sit. We sit, and we are going to be going in, in 2 hours 
or so. We are going to have our opening statements, and then we will 
proceed to vote on the Articles of Impeachment offered by our friends 
on the other side of the aisle.
  To what end? It is this obviation of the rule that is consistent with 
how we have seen this whole process play out.
  We have written the chair of the Rules Committee to remind all chairs 
of their obligation to adhere to the rules of the House. Unfortunately, 
the hearing is yet to be scheduled.
  I would suggest that the Democratic case for impeachment is not 
nearly so strong as they would have us believe. Otherwise, they would 
be affording us a simple minority hearing day.
  When one considers it, and I wish everyone would consider it, we are 
being afforded more procedural rights on this bill, which is dead on 
arrival in the Senate, than we are in the impeachment proceeding of the 
President of the United States. That is simply wrong, Madam Speaker.
  One day, I suggest, we will be beyond this mania, this hysteria that 
has set in here, and the other shoe will drop. I know that many in this 
body do not care for this President, and I understand that. But I think 
we all should have respect for this institution, and we should take 
care of this institution.
  We should respect the due process rights of the minority. That is all 
we are asking. We want that minority hearing day.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to this 
motion to recommit and in strong support of this underlying 
legislation.
  Madam Speaker, America's farmers, producers, and ranchers provide the 
American people with the safest, most abundant, and most affordable 
food supply in the world.
  Their job is challenging enough, but for too long, our broken 
immigration system has made this job even more difficult. I have heard 
from farmers across upstate New York and across the country, sharing 
the urgent need for responsible, commonsense action to address the 
labor shortage on American farms and ranches.
  In fact, every time I visit a farm in my community, immigration is 
one of the top issues I hear about from farmers. A shortage of workers 
has led to crops rotting in the fields, billions of dollars in lost 
productivity, and farmers shuttering their operations.
  For too long, the broken politics in Washington have made it 
impossible to make progress on bipartisan immigration reform. But 
thanks to the tireless work of Congresswoman Lofgren and Congressman 
Newhouse, and the engagement of dozens of Members and hundreds of 
agricultural and labor stakeholders, we have a solid, bipartisan bill 
that finally moves the ball forward.
  The Farm Workforce Modernization Act is something people don't think 
happens much in Congress anymore, a bipartisan answer to a serious 
challenge. Republicans and Democrats came together, worked with each 
other, and found a solution that both sides can live with and that 
delivers results for American agriculture and workers.

[[Page H10094]]

  Our legislation will expand the H-2A visa program to year-round 
operations like dairy farms, streamline the program to make it easier 
for farmers to use, and strengthen the electronic verification process 
to ensure a legal workforce.
  It also includes a tough but fair legal status for the existing farm 
workforce, allowing agricultural workers to get right with the law. The 
bill also includes strong criminal bars, preventing anyone with a 
felony conviction or two misdemeanors from obtaining legal status.
  Both sides negotiated in good faith, and in the end, we have a 
strong, bipartisan bill on the floor to support.
  Working together with Democrats and Republicans shows that Congress 
can get things done for our farmers. That includes farmers like Mike, 
who owns a dairy operation in my district in Homer, New York.
  Mike testified in front of the Agriculture Committee earlier this 
year and told us in no uncertain terms: ``Agriculture needs a way to 
secure a workforce that is steady, willing, able, and legal. We need to 
bring the multitude of indispensable agricultural workers who are 
already here out of the shadows without major disruption to the 
workforce.''
  Mike is supporting this bill, and the bill has earned the strong 
support of more than 300 agriculture groups from across the country, 
the Chamber of Commerce, faith groups, labor groups, and many others.
  To my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, I would say that we have 
a real chance here to deliver a compromise--let me say that word again, 
``compromise''--that will make our country stronger and help grow 
American agriculture.
  President Ronald Reagan, the last President to sign an agriculture 
labor bill into law, once said: ``I've always thought that when we 
Americans get up in the morning, when we see bacon, eggs, toast, and 
milk on our breakfast table, we should give thanks that our farmers are 
survivors. You are the real miracle workers of the modern world--
keepers of an incredible system based on faith, freedom, hard work, 
productivity, and profit--a system that feeds us and sustains millions 
of the world's hungry.''
  Let's get the job done. Let's deliver a win for our American farmers. 
Let's oppose this amendment and get this bill passed.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
