That is why my amendment assesses participating growers a user fee that the Congressional Budget Office estimates will generate twice as much money as will be necessary to administer the seasonal worker program. In addition to the flaws that I have recited in the Bracero Program. there was a more significant and in my mind a more tragic omission. The Bracero Program was woefully inadequate in terms of affording worker protections. Today. Mr. President. when undocumented workers work illegally in this country. this sad situation of worker exploitation persists to some minor degree. We really cannot quantify it. The vast majority.
