Workers would be able to work for whomever they liked and growers could better attract the workers they need through paying competitive wages. The agricultural worker problem is wrought with complexity. Yet avoiding the issue could spell the demise of perishable agriculture in this country. I have grave concerns. too. about the blanket granting of amnesty which the rule grants. Mr. Speaker. this rule also allows me to join my colleague. Mr. MOORHEAD. in offering an amendment to increase the border patrol by 50 percent. While not a panacea. this provision will help to stem the flow of illegals and potential terrorists. We should move ahead with the process but I hope we can improve this rule.
