But if this is so. then that cost has to be added to the more than $200 billion deficit that this country has at the present time. People come to this Nation because they are poor. because they need a job. because they are hungry. The employers hire the undocumented because they work for less. and work under adverse working conditions. The exploitation. no matter how we look at it. is there. but this bill does not correct that. Mr. Chairman. we are told that we have lost control of the borders. that we must regain it. but no one has told this House how that can be done. Surely. the legislation before us does not correct the situation because it creates far more problems than it solves. It is definitely not immigration reform.
