A bipartisan Senate group negotiating a rewrite of U.S. immigration law is close to a deal on revising a visa program for farmworkers and has agreed to improvements in border security, Arizona Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake said today.
They said the eight-member group is making progress on resolving disputes over wage rates and visa caps for foreign farm workers. The group was set to meet this afternoon for the first time in almost three weeks after returning from an Easter break.
