Mr. Speaker. when the House debated the Mazzoli immigration bill earlier this year I argued strenuously against the adoption of the guest worker amendment. In my view this amendment undermines the entire logic of the bill. The amendment would legalize precisely the situation this bill seeks to remedy. in which a large work force in this country is made up of what are essentially secondclass citizens. The Bureau for Social Science Research has prepared what seems to me an excellent analysis of the amendment. comparing it to the discredited bracero program of the fifties. I ask that it be made a part of the RECORD. and I would ask my colleagues to carefully consider the implications of such a guest worker program.
