Mr. Speaker. my good friend. Florida State Representative Gene Ready (Democrat of Polk County) recently brought to my attention an article published in the Tampa Tribune on November 2 regarding efforts by the Labor Department to insure that illegal aliens receive the minimum wage. A copy of the article is printed below. While the Immigration and Naturalization Service is working on returning illegal aliens to their native countries. the Labor Department is trying to insure that these same aliens receive the minimum wage in this country. Instead of addressing the real problem of trying to stop illegal aliens from entering our country by identifying them and deporting them. we are concerned that they receive the minimum wage for jobs they hold illegally. I share State Representative Readys distress about this and urge the Labor Department to take another look at their hypocritical policy.
