Mr. President. the purpose of this legislation is to improve control over illegal immigration. This amendment effectively removes that control. It is ironic that yesterday. when the growers were talking about illegals being apprehended and disrupting the harvest. they said that only 8 percent of all illegals are in agriculture but 50 percent of the apprehensions are made there. But when they fear losing the illegal aliens as workers. through the implementation of employment sanctions. they claim they will not be able to harvest or that food prices will rise unless they have these special programs for the transitional workers. They cannot have it both ways. The issue here is that this is the most effective way of control.
