Mr. President. the problem of undocumented workers in the United States is rooted deeply in the economic health of Mexico. Unfortunately. Mexico has just experienced its worst harvest in 30 yearsa situation which is expected to send more than the usual number of workers across the border seeking employment. It is vitally important. therefore. that the Congress of the United States begins to deal with the problem of illegal immigration from Mexico. It is a problem that has been with us for some time. and will be with us until we legislate a solution. Numerous solutions have been proposed. ranging from an open border to a high fence. I have sponsored legislation to provide Mexican workers with temporary work permits. many of my colleagues have introduced other measures. However. I have yet to see significant action on this issue.
