So too has the immigration issue, aided by a high-profile U.S. House Judiciary Committee field hearing in Dubuque on immigration reform and an appearance on Whalen's behalf by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns, who warned of rising farm labor prices if illegal immigration is not dealt with comprehensively...
