We do know that we have a large number of unemployed. We do know that those who are on the lower rungs of the social and economic ladder are those who are imposed upon the most by illegal workers in this country. It seems to me it would be the wrong time to give a signal to the country that we are going in any way to relax efforts that we have in place to deal with the question of illegal aliens. I think the Senator from New Jersey has reached a happy medium with his proposal in addressing the question of overregulation. making it possible to deal with that. at the same time keeping in place the only mechanism we have that addresses this particular problem. Of course. we do not have to reiterateit has already been done by the Senator from New York and othersthe very sad situation that we have had in this country that has been demonstrated as far as migrant workers are concerned. It seems to me the better course of action is to proceed into the next administration. to make a determination then as to how the Department of Labor is going to administer this particular program. how the committees of the Senate itself. with the changes that will be made there. will deal with this program. rather than now. on this particular bill. putting legislation on an appropriations bill. sweeping far too broadly in the changes that it would make.
