Speech #990081477

We can only do that and preserve an important part of our economy if we recognize their special needs and take men and women who are now working illegally and give them an opportunity to work legally. This amendment is in the best interests of consumers. domestic workers. and the foreign workers themselves. In my view. this amendment is consistent with the goals of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1985. It will help ensure that the thousands of farmers who are involved in the multibillion dollar perishable commodity industry are not forced out of business. I urge my colleagues to give this amendment their full support.
