To prohibit such employment -without giving notice to agricultural employers. would put many of them right out of business. and leave crops literally rotting in the field because of a lack of a harvest force. This bill provides for a 5year exemption to permit the continuance of alien employment in the fields at locations where there are not sufficient laborers who are legally entitled to employment in the United States. Under a legally recognized approach I think that such an exemption is perfectly in keeping with the main purpose of any illegal alien employment prohibition. We are attempting to open up jobs. which would be filled by the ranks of our unemployed. It would simply be unrealistic to expect that these unemployed persons who have engaged in industrial or serviceoriented positions. would now take to the fields and fill the void left by the departed alien harvester.
