Mr. President. I have been inserting various articles in the RECORD concerning the problems of the undocumented workers from Mexico. To assist in solving this.problem I have introduced S. 1427 (the U.S.-Mexico Good Neighbor Act) which would create a temporary workers program. One of the most difficult aspects of this problem is deciding how many illegal aliens are in the United States and how long they stay. Immigration and Naturalization Service apprehensions (which exceeded 1 million last year). while including many repeaters. do lend a base to the numbers. Due to the historical ebb and flow of migrants across the border it has not been until recently that valid research has been conducted in this area. The data gathered by these newer studies has led me and other legislators in the House and Senate to believe that a temporary workers program makes good sense. The San Diego Union has printed a series entitled "Southwind" by Richard Louv and in his third article "The Numbers Game" he has addressed this problem.
