Let us ask ourselves this question: Are we going to allow these people to remain here in a "sub rosa" society knowing that the conditions are such as I have recounted. Anyone who has studied the question and knows the facts. knows that they are subjected to exploitation. will support legalization as the only humane and practical solution to a most difficult problem. Knowing all of this. are we going to sit idly by and say to each one that they must come forward and apply for suspension of deportation which is a limited form of relief already in the immigration law? Or will we do what America has been proud to do whenever there has been an intolerable condition that existed that cried out for action? Will we extend a hand to them in all decency and humanity and say. "You may remain here?" I say. Mr. Chairman. that unless we have legalization with employer sanctions. we will have no Immigration Reform and Control Act. Without legalization this gentleman could not support it.
