Mr. President. The Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy has recently issued its final report to the President and Congress. Unfortunately when reviewing the problems caused by illegal migration. the Commission focused almost exclusively on enforcement of existing law without any substantive analysis of what that would mean. The Select Commission failed to discuss the impact of a strict immigration policy on Mexico and the strategic implications that would flow from such a policy. The Commissions report also refused to seriously treat the issue of domestic labor shortages for certain types of employment. These are complex issues and the short shrift given to them in the Commissions report21./2 pages out of a 453page report--does not do justice to the arguments on either side.
