All such "bracero" or "guestworker" programs are contrary to the interests of American workers. whatever label may be given them. A bracero program was tried and found wanting and was rejected by Congress in 1962. We continue to support the recommendations of the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy that the government. employers and unions should cooperate to end dependence of any industry on a constant supply of temporary foreign workers. to remove current disincentives to hiring U.S. workers. and to maintain labor certification by the U.S. Department of Labor. On the particulars. we commend to the subcommittee the work done on this subject last year by the House Education and Labor Committee.
