I suspect the reason Mr. BERMAN used the words "It only seems whacko." was because of the ridiculous impact it is going to have upon the finances of the U.S. Government if this immigration bill. in the form that is now before the House. is approved. Can you imagine that if you have worked in agriculture for 60 days. within May 1. 1985 to May 1. 1986. you have established eligibility for permanent residency in the United States. You will get a green card. What is more. you will be entitled to welfare benefits. all that exist under the law today. If the taxpayers of America find out about this. they are going to be incensed at what in the world are we doing.
