The objective of the amendment is to stop openfield raids by INS that disrupt farming operations and harass many people. Raids on farm fields are a form of summary punishment inflicted by INS agents on farmers and their employees. Raids can cost thousands of dollars in lost and damaged crops and in lost wages. S. 2222 should make raids by INS an exercise of the past. The response of Alan Nelson. Commissioner of Immigration. to Senator SIMPSON. appearing in Wednesdays RECORD seems to overlook the fact that our amendment will be part of S. If S. 2222 becomes law. farmers and growers will be violating the law if they hire unauthorized workers. That is not now the case.
