Why should we do that?" Again it is one of those issues that you realize is the only practical solution to the problem. What are the three major goals we seek through legalization? The first is not to expend the efforts of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in these law enforcement activities. They have a limited. a totally limited. budget. We are very unlikely to see them obtain any kind of enforcement for the dollars that we expend if they are going to expend it in locating and deporting from the United States those who have become settled in this country rather than being about their job of preventing new Illegal entries or visa abuse. which are the known factors and the known causes of our problem. The second goaland this is a very important oneis to allow the currently economically dependent employers to continue lawful hiring from that pool of labor. These employers have lawfully become dependent upon the illegal supply of human beings. Legalization will assist in that transition from an illegal flow and illegal use to a legal pool of labor. The third is to eliminate. as I say. this illegal subclass of persons with the weakest of bargaining conditions. who are limited in their participation in U.S. society which. sadly enough. even has the effect of hindering the participation of legal immigrants from the same country of origin. As I shared with you some hours ago. there is even a more pragmatic and fascinating reason for legalization. and that is. if you could not find them coming how are you going to find them to get them out? It is an impossible task. I believe if there is anything that would rupture the fabric of this country it would be the search for illegal undocumented aliens. I would hate to see it take place. We need a reasonable legalization program.
