Continued scrutiny of laborstandard compliance is necessary. Mr. Speaker. it is a well known fact that many of these sweatshops are staffed by undocumented workers. These workers cannot organize for collective bargaining purposes nor even demand the basic rights and protections due them as human beings. They cannot complain about dangerous working conditions for fear of losing their jobs. Consequently. they are ripe for exploitation. And they are exploited shamelessly. If the Immigration Reform and Control Act were adopted. some of this exploitation would cease. The flow of undocumented aliens would be curtailed. Many aliens here in the United States could have their status legalized and would no longer have to live furtively and clandestinely. They would no longer have to fear discovery and deportation. They could join or even start unions. They could file complaints and law suits.
