Well. the Commission has come in with its recommendation. and instead of abiding by the Commissions report the amendment of the Senator from California would totally flaunt that Commission feport and go to exactly the opposite extreme. Now. the growers say "Well. the Americans wont take the Jobs in the field." I say nonsense. Unemployment in agriculture is high. Massive employment of illegal aliens only keeps working conditions bad and wages low. American agricultural workers will accept the Jobs that are available. provided they pay a decent wage and provided there are decent working conditions. Growers say that legalization will not make any difference.
