Speech #990084591

I also have objections to persons being rewarded on a wholesale basis for violating the law. In addition. I think the amnesty provisions of this bill are unworkable from a practical administrative standpoint. I dont believe that the Immigration and Naturalization Service can properly screen millions of applicants for amnesty. The costs of legalization. amounting to at least $600 million a year for the first 3 years. cannot be justified in this period of fiscal restraint. Although I cannot support the bill as presented to us today. there are many portions of this bill which I favor. The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program established by Senator WILSONS amendment is one of those.
