So he has my admiration and my respect. Having said that. I wish to offer an amendmlitt which I think is really necessary in order for any immigration reform legislation to become workable in a way that does not savage an important American industry. As sponsor of S. 1200. to his credit he is attempting to restrict access to our borders through controls and deterrents. Similarly. my amendment will achieve a federally regulated program of controlled access to and egress from our Nations farms. The program would allow foreign workers to enter our country on a temporary basis to work only in perishable agriculture and only as a supplement to the small number of domestic workers available. which number has. through history. been grossly inadequate to the need for timely harvest of perishable commodities. and which promises to be grossly inadeqv:.te in the future.
