Legalization will have a positive effect on the U.S. labor market. Legalizing workers will permit them to demand equal treatment under the laws governing minimum wages. overtime compensation. and working conditions. Right now the same undocumented aliens contribute to the depression of wages and working conditions. since they fear discovery and eventual deportation. Mr. Chairman. legalizationapproved by the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy by a vote of 16 to nothing and recommended by our colleagues. Republicans and Democratsis the only humane response to a problem created by failure of U.S. policy in the past. I urge a no vote on the pending amendment.
