Mr. Chairman. for the past several years our immigration law has been examined by the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy. both Houses of Congress. and the Ford. Carter. and Reagan administrations. The bill before us is the first major overhaul of immigration law since 1952. and I commend my colleagues RON MAZZOLI and ALAN SIMPSON as well as the members of the Judiciary Committee for their efforts. Despite my respect for their difficult task of reconciling the needs of labor. agriculture. business. and ethnic groups. however. I believe H.R. 7357 requires improvement. My major objection is to the mass legalization program.
