As immigrants and advocates continue to push for passage of a pathway to citizenship for millions through the budget reconciliation process, farmworkers, United Farm Workers (UFW), and UFW Foundation last month extended invitations to all 100 U.S. senators. They asked them to work beside them for just one day. “Farm labor is the hardest work in America—we invite senators to come to see for themselves,” UFW President Teresa Romero said.
Organizers announced on Tuesday that two senators who make up the Democratic majority that can pass a pathway to citizenship have accepted that invitation: New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and California Sen. Alex Padilla.
