For the House to participate in a process where the end product is certain to be so flawed and so violative of the rights of the lowest paid people in this country. would be unconscionable. We would be offering the pretense of legalIzation on the one hand. but denying assistance benefits on the other. We would punish employers for hiring undocumented workers. but make it easier for them to use foreign guestworkers. We would create conditions for massive job discrimination against Hispanics. and undermine efforts of U.S. workers. particularly farmworkers. to organize to improve their wages and working conditions. Those who subscribe to a progressive political philosophy should not permit the vehicle for such abuse to move forward.
