The Rules Committee page for H.R. 7567 lists amendment #32, sponsored by Rep. Steube, which would transfer administration of the H-2A program from the Secretary of Labor to the Secretary of Agriculture. The page also shows committee action and floor action on the bill in late April 2026.
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Lucas was listed as an original cosponsor of an H-2A-related bill, but the official record shows only introduction and referral to committee, not enactment or completed streamlining of the agricultural worker program.
To modernize the process for the admission of H–2A workers, and for other purposes.
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): A later H-2A modernization bill exists in the same Congress, but GovInfo lists it as introduced and referred to Judiciary, with Thompson as sponsor and no Lucas listing in the displayed sponsor/cosponsor record; this indicates the agricultural-worker modernization goal remained a pending legislative attempt rather than delivered policy.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

The evidence shows same-term activity around a farm bill and an H-2A agricultural worker amendment, but it does not show that Lucas delivered enacted immigration modernization, prioritized high-skilled entrepreneurs, or completed streamlined agricultural worker programs. The H-2A proposal was associated with another sponsor and appears to be legislative consideration rather than a finished outcome attributable to Lucas. Because there was some legislative movement related to the agricultural-worker portion but no delivered federal policy matching the promise, this should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
