Speech #980213632

I have asked the question. "How can you pay less than minimum wage if there is wage and hour inspection of your business? How can you have unsafe sweatshop conditions if there is enforcement of OSHA? How can you not have to deduct the contributions to Social Security or to Internal Revenue for income taxes if there is enforcement of these laws?" The gentleman from California verifies that in his perusal of the situation they apparently are not being enforced. and this is an attempt then. therefore. to come into where the major problem is with the undocumented taking jobs away from the domestic and lowering the wages. which is in the highly urban areas of the United States.
