Tom Dunnigan who runs the labor association in my State. and where they are employing farm laborers. and in this case. in some instances. people who are illegal get in those work forces working in those crews. and he made the point with me that even though it would provide a lot of the people who are working in the farm communityit would make them legal. he feels that it is going to rapidly and very dramatically expand the use of many of the transfer payment welfare programs that the Federal Government operates because of these people. The response of this bill is to solve the problem by defining it out of existence. If we have a problem of illegal aliens. we will no longer have a problem if we make or define them as legal aliens. No one is hurt. everything is fine. and everyone is happy. The problem with the approach.
