Mr. Speaker. earlier in this session of Congress I introduced legislation to provide for the regulation of employment agents who arrange for employment in the United States of aliens seeking to enter the United States to perform domestic services and to change the status of such aliens from that of immigrants to that of nonimmigrants for the protection of U.S. housewives and employers. The response which my bill has received is gratifying and I am slowly compiling a file of individual cases illustrating the abuse of our immigration laws which my bill is aimed at curbing. Montgomery County has been particularly hard hit by alien domestics who take advantage of our immigration law to gain entrance into the United States under the pretense of serving as livein maids. I insert the following article. by Martha Robinson. which appeared in the Montgomery County Sentinel in the RECORD to further illustrate the problems H.R. 7293 is designed to remedy: [From the Montgomery County (Md.) Sentinel. Apr. 20. 1967]
