“We\u2019re urging our Texas Senators Cornyn and Cruz to support Senators Crapo and Bennet in passing farm labor reform in the Senate.” <\/p>Gerry Garcia<\/span>McAllen Chamber of Commerce Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
