Is this what the committee has in mind when they place no limit on their H2 program? I am baffled by the inconsistency of the proponents of H.R. 7357. The underlying urgency in pressing legislation is the apprehension that we have lost control of our borders. Time and again. I heard my colleagues state that we had to curtail the influx of undocumented workers who are taking Jobs away from domestic workers. Yet when it came to debating the merits of the H2 provisions. few rose to protect the interest of domestic workers. Instead. the committee passed a backdoor bracero program.
