This will drive farmers out of business. drive consumer prices up. and increase our reliance on Mexico as a supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables. Second. I feel very strongly that if we do not legalize. regularize. and direct the flow of illegal aliens. we will simply be compounding the problems we face today. We will drive the ilegals further underground while the incentives which push them north. and the regional demand for their services will remain. I say let this reform of our immigration laws be successful. Let us be realistic. let us be humanitarian. let us consider and accept this guest worker proposal. My amendment calls for the Attorney General and the Secretaries of Labor and Agriculture to establish regulations for the admission of temporary workers. The Attorney General would establish numerical limits on the issuance of nonimmigrant visas. which would allow workers into the United States for up to 180 days per year. As opposed to the "Bracerolike" approach of the H2 program. workers would not be bound to work for a specific employer. However. guest workers would be prohibited from specific worksites if employees or employers demonstrate that aliens will displace available. qualified. and willing domestic workers.
