It is a practical trade and investment policy approach to treat the needs of a region of vital interest to all Americans. It is ironic that the AFLCIO opposes this legislation for it has been instrumental in the formation and development of free trade unions in the basin. The head of the Banana Workers Union of Honduras. the largest union in the country. told me several months ago that his union and all of the unions in the country strongly support this legislation. I submit that illegal immigration from the basin is a far greater danger to American workers than any provisions in this bill. I urge its approval.
