For those who have supported this bill because they feel it will open up jobs for our multitude of unemployed. how do they explain the expanded H2 program? We do not need a guest worker program. Another difficulty with this bill is that it does not address the foreign policy aspect of immigration reform. Last week the Government of Mexico passed a resolution opposing this bill. We are trying to build better relations with Mexico. And while I do not believe that we should tailor our immigration policy to the needs of Mexico or any other nation. we must. nevertheless. realize that this bill has definite implications for that nation. It is part of our responsibility as a great power to develop policies that will not hinder our relations with our allies. I am sorry that this bill was even brought up during the closing days of the 97th Congress. but since it has been I hope that it will be defeated.e
