Speech #970017405

Mr. President. on February 5. 1981. the Las Cruces. N. Mex.. SunNews published an editorial dealing with proposals by the Select Commission on Immigration. This editorial was reprinted from the Milwaukee Journal. an area farremoved from the Southwestern border and New Mexico. It is interesting to note that even in Milwaukee the need for a liberal guestworker program is needed. at least for a period of time. The editorial stated: First. the nation needs to greatly expand its present guestworker programs so that aliens could legally enter the United States for jobs that Americans dont care to do. I and others who have studied this issue know that a guestworker program is not the entire answer but only a part of the solution.
