Justification for this amendment can be found in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal. The article begins with the assertion that joblessness among black youths "keeps getting worse instead of better." In 1960 about 24 percent of blacks between the ages of 16 and 19 were unemployed. This rate has now jumped to 37 percent in 1980. The article points out that illegal aliens are one of the factors causing such high unemployment. It states that: Competition from other groups. notably adult women. illegal aliens and recent immigrants to the U.S. has been a growing factor in recent higher joblessness among black youth. I ask that this article be printed in the RECORD.
