One of the reasons is because of the fact that no consideration was being given then for what I considered a new development. the emergence of the multinational cartels. in a manner reminiscent of postWorld War I. And I am sorry to say that. although I support this bill now out of sheer necessity. I foresaw what would be happening if we did not become realistic enough to anticipate the forces that would impinge on our TSE 23727 economic life to the point where our workers would be placed. as they have been and are now continuing to be. to compete with every coolie. peon. and slave laborer that is now working under the onus of authoritarian regimes throughout the world. This is exactly what we are confronting and continue to confront. Until we address that. the best thing that we can do is to approve this type of assistance to the victim American workers.
