That does not cure the fact. though. that we need manpower in this country. We have tried to solve the shortage in some ways and have not been able to reach any accord. We had a bill before us a month or two ago which made it illegal to knowingly hire an illegal alien and. in turn. to not make it possible for an illegal alien to receive welfare benefits. and that was a good. substantive approach to a very pesky problem. That still leaves us where we cannot get the needed manpower that we ought to have in this country. The Department of Labor can handle this matter administratively. if the Secretary of Labor would issue these work permits. if he would let these workers come in. if we knew where they were. who they were. and under what conditions they could come to work. but the Secretary of Labor. for political reasons. will not budge an inch. He is afraid to move. At least he does not do it. and that still leaves us no answer to this problem of where we are going to get the needed manpower.
