This work seeks to examine the intersection between agriculture and immigration policies through the perspective of legislative cross-cutting pressures as articulated by Cox & McCubbins (1993 & 2005) and Wink, et al. (1996). Looking at the roll call votes taken by Members of Congress (MCs) on HR 4437, The Immigration, Border Security, and Nationality Act of 2005 which impacted both agricultural and immigration policy in the form of the H-2A Visa Program, involving guest farm workers, this work highlights the multiple pressures faced by many MCs within their congressional districts. However, an analysis of these votes suggests that cross-cutting pressures imposed on many MCs usually concerned about farm policy gave way to concerns about illegal immigration, leading to many to vote for in favor of HR 4437, in spite of the difficulties this proposed legislation was going to have for their farm interests. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
