The statements were issued by the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference. which numbers among its members most agencies assisting immigrants. Suffice it to say. that as currently administered. section 212(a) (14). with certain exceptions. requires each prospective employable immigrant to establish satisfactorily his qualifications to fill a specific job opening. for whicl. a specific employer has satisfactorily established that no American is available. and that the prevailing wage rates will be paid the prospective immigrant. The case material and experience of several voluntary agencies leaves no doubt in my mind that the lengthy forms and detailed procedures required by the Department of Labor for compliance with section 212(a) (14). have been unnecessarily cumbersome and heavily weighted with redtape. I have received a great deal of mail on this matter. and have spoken personally with the representatives of many of the voluntary agencies.
