This has understandably alarmed labor organizations. who see a weakening of the current high standards employers are now required to meet in seeking American workers first. Mr. President. the need for temporary workers can be met by the existing H2 program. as established in the Immigration and Nationality Act. and governed by regulations. If changes are needed. as suggested in this bill. then let both sides present the evidence to the Department of Labor and let the regulations be adjusted. My amendment simply strikes the new H2 language in the bill. leaving existing law and regulations to govern the admission of H2 workers.
