President. this year. as last year. I was pleased to join as a cosponsor of the measure introduced by the Senator from Massachusetts . S. 1694. which would require commuter aliensthe socalled green cardersto be regularly certified every 6 months by the Department of Labor. The certification is to indicate that the workers presence in this country to seek work does not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of American workers. Last year hearings were held on this problem by Senator KENNEDY and also by the Select Commission on Western Hemisphere Immigration. These hearings have disclosed a wide range of opinion regarding the benefits. or lack thereof. of the system of employing commuter aliens. My State has faced a long history of poverty and disadvantage along the TexasMexico border.
