Speech #980210552

Perhaps the chairman of the committee might join in. When I have gone around the country and talked in behalf of the bill. H.R. 1510. with this proviso for remodeling and renewing the H2 program to provide the fund and store of documented labor to supplant and replace the loss of undocumented labor which would come from employer sanctions. people say to me a couple of things. One thing they say is that "an H2 program is wrong because you are taking people in. and you have jobs here in America which ought to go to U.S. citizens or to resident aliens." I wonder if the gentleman or maybe the chairman of the committee will tell us. is that criticism valid? Is there. for example. a lack of jobs or. perhaps even better phrased. are there jobs here that Americans or U.S. citizens do not want and. therefore. we have to turn to either undocumented labor or labor from abroad?
