We have also not adequately examined how this bill will effect our own economy. particularly in the Southwest. In some cities. like Los Angeles. there would be no apparel industry if it were not for workers from Mexico. In Houston almost onethird of all construction workers are undocumenteddoing jobs that many Americans refuse to do. I am not suggesting that we rely on illegal workers to underpin our economy. but rather that we need to examine the true role these workers play in our economy. and to make sure that this legislation does not harm us in the long run. That is why I opposed establishing a new temporary worker program as proposed by Senator WILSON.
