I rise in support of the amendment. Mr. Chairman. first let me preface that heretofore all that we have heard with regard to undocumented has been the use and possible abuse in the agricultural sector. I have complained that this is not where the majority of the undocumented workers are and this is not where the pervasive abuse is but. rather. it is in the socalled sweatshops in the urban areas. I would like to mention. and if I might. invite my colleague from California. the author of the amendment to listen: I recently had a discussion with my distinguished colleague from California and asked him about the undocumented. why are not the wage and hour provisions being applied in Los Angeles for example? Why are not the OSHA requirements being applied? Why are not the IRS regulations being applied?
