This Nation is still the dream of those who are poor. oppressed. or unfree. Our standard of living. our labor and welfare laws. our opportunities for freedom are still seen as the best hope of many in underdeveloped countries. The problems created by the entry of illegal immigrants are increasingly complex. Most of these immigrants come here to work on a temporary basis. and many remain to work periodically in agriculture or other related industry. Although many of these workers are in the southwestern States. there are increasing numbers in other parts of the Nation: Chinese coming into San Francisco. Dominicans and West Indians coming through Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands into New York. FrenchCanadians coming into New England. This is not simply a problem of migrant laborers from Mexico. or a problem of a few States. It is a problem all of us must recognize and understand. Many Americans. themselves worried by unemployment or inflation. are concerned about foreign workers disrupting our labor market. competing for jobs which do not exist in sufficient numbers any more.
