The Daily Wire reports that that ten senators, including Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul, signed a March 4 letter urging their colleagues to join them as they "remain strongly opposed to the mandates and ... continue to work to end their imposition on Americans," followed by a March 7 letter by 36 House members, including Ralph Norman, Elise Stefanik, and Louie Gohmert, warning Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas that vaccine mandates on truckers will lead to "limitations and delays [that] will have a catastrophic impact on our already fragile supply chain and proliferate rising food prices."

"Our nation is facing a major food supply chain crisis and worker shortage. Shelves in grocery stores remain empty, and the price of food continues to rise," the representatives write.

Now that these H-2A workers are required to be fully vaccinated to enter the US, we have heard from numerous farmers and constituents who worry that these new vaccination requirements are delaying and will continue to delay the arrival of H-2A workers this year"...
