It's my understanding he DID.
Plus, he spent the entire weekend running around the state dissing the bill. I just can't figure out WHY he voted for cloture.
Possibly to get a vote and a record. Maybe he knows that it won’t pass?
It is pretty clear Grassley supports the guest worker provision in the bill, which increasing the annual number of such workers by 400,000, as he voted against the Dorgan amendment to eliminate that portion of the bill. A Bingaman amendment to cut that number in half is still waiting to be debated and voted upon. We will see if Grassley supports that amendment as well. Neither of these amendments affects temporary agriculture workers however, and existing law puts no limit on that category of workers.
