Chairman. as Members of the House of Representatives. we have been elected to guarantee the rights of the citizens of the State which we represent. and the citizens of the country as a whole. and to serve the best interests of consumers and producers. The PanettaMorrison amendment. in my opinion. fulfills both of these goals. The Immigration Reform and Control Act. which we are debating this week. seeks to stem the tide of illegal immigration which has become an uncontrollable problem. The effects of the influx of illegals is extremely evident to me as a Representative from California. The PanettaMorrison amendment is compatible with the goals of the Immigration Reform and Control Act in that it maintains the protections. and preserves the requirements. as outlined by the H2 program. It preserves the right of Americas citizens to work and allows foreign labor to be employed only if there is a need. H.R. 1510 assumes by granting amnesty to the illegals already in the United States that the labor needs of the perishable commodity industry will be met.
