Mr. President. in his fourth article in the "Southwind" series. "A New Underground Railroad." Richard Louv of the San Diego Union describes the inhumane living conditions facing undocumented workers from Mexico. and more importantly. the legal anchronisms that perpetuate these conditions. Under current Federal law. a person who gives refuge to an undocumented worker is guilty of a felony. An assistant U.S. attorney in San Diego stated. quite correctly. that "immigration law frustrates anyone who comes in contact with it." As Mr. Louv has reported in earlier articles. which I have placed in the RECORD. the undocumented workers from Mexico come here because there is a need for their labor in jobs that Americans will not do. The internal development problems of Mexico and the youth of her population insure that for the rest of this decade. at least. this problem will continue to confront us. In this context.
