Raspberry correctly points out. the older children "want desperately to work." More recently he wrote an article which took a cool and logical look at the question: Should it be legal to hire illegals? Mr. Raspberrys conclusion is that the proposal to make it unlawful for American employers to hire illegal aliens "makes sense" to him. He states that: Sooner or later. somebody is going to have to start talking sense on the question of immigration. I have in mind in particular the immigrants now flooding illegally into this country. They may provide temporary relief for employers whove had trouble filling their bottomofthebarrel jobs. but. in the long term. they spell not "relief" but "trouble." I agree completely with Mr. Raspberrys assessments and recently introduced a fairhiring amendment (No. 1960) to S. 1763 which would make it illegal to hire illegal aliens. I ask that both of Mr. Rapsberrys articles be printed in the RECORD.
