We have to bring in enough to harvest the crop. It will be impossible to process that many now. You cannot process more than 7.000 a day as a physical proposition. The immigration authorities cannot process them today to exceed about 7.000 a day. The result is that the number that would come in during the season is limited by the number that can be processed. Had we been able to get this bill passed 2 or 3 months earlier. we could have processed more workers. we could have brought them in here legally. we could have processed and screened them for the work that should have been done.
