Mr. President. the Senator makes an excellent point. Clearly. there are far more productive activities for the personnel of the INS than chasing down Mexican migrant workers who not only are helping this countrys economy but also are helping Mexicos economy. It never made any sense to me. and it makes even less sense the more I think about it. It is also important to note that other proposals for employer sanctions and for increased enforcement along the border are doomed to failure unless there is a broad guest worker program that roughly. or as precisely as possible. takes into account the number of jobs that are open to migrant labor from Mexico and are not being sought by the U.S. workforce. Mr. President. how much time remains to the two Senators?
