I realize that the issue of foreign workers is a controversial issue. because I think it sets off a mind set of attitudes and feelings that the situation is either all good or all bad. It depends on our emotions and our philosophies and I think you will hear many of those arguments presented today. But I ask you to consider this: The brutal realities of the present system involve wholesale exploitation of undocumented workers and there are no protections. there are no protections at all. And that is what is happening today. President de la Madrid. when he came before the Congress said. "Give me a temporary worker program with protections for human rights and for labor rights." And that is the purpose of the amendment that is before this body. to try to adapt the H2 bill so that it responds to the needs that I have described.
