Our Nation has a historical commitment to assist our neighbor. Now is the time to review that commitment. In the short term. a temporary agricultural guest worker program would stabilize the situation and reduce the pressure which drives so many illegal aliens north to look for jobs. Mr. President. I urge my colleagues to consider carefully the implications of not adopting this amendment. It will not encourage more illegal immigration as some have suggested. but will provide workers for an industry that has always had problems recruiting sufficient numbers of Americans. Mr. President. I ask that an article which details my views on Mexican migration and which recently was published in the Immigration and Nationality Law Review be inserted in the REcoRD.
