I am honored to receive the support of an organization representing so many hard-working Americans.”

"The American Farm Bureau is the gold standard of public policy in American agriculture and I am truly humbled by the support Farm Bureau is showing the Hutchison-Pence proposal," said Pence. "The support of Farm Bureau for the principles in Hutchison-Pence, which are border security first, coupled with a no amnesty temporary worker program, is of incalculable value as we work to solve this domestic crisis in a manner consistent with our laws and national character."
