Quite frankly. no matter how you skin it. with the acceptance of the Wilson amendment. we are accepting a special interest amendment. And that is for the growers. This body has been charged with trying to do something about illegal immigration and the flood of migrants coming to this country in ways which threaten the Jobs of Americans and we ought to be about that and not. I believe. be accepting a pig in a poke. so to speak. That is the opportunity to add 350.000 more foreign workers in agricultural America when we have the significant unemployment that we have at the present time. I hope that this body will be willing to accept this amendment that is being proposed by the Senator from Illinois. We shall be back again in 3 years addressing immigration issues. This is consistent with that. It will be the responsibility of the Judiciary Committee and other Interested Senators to address both the findings of the agricultural commission which has been included in this legislation. as well as the GAO reports on the question of discrimination.
