But a situation like that can be corrected if. in the legislation that has been presented to us. it does just those things that will continue to perpetuate that situation. What it does when they protect the farmer. when they make it sure that under that piece of legislation there is a steady flow of cheap labor to the farmer and the grower. they exempt the farmer from sanctions and then. at the same time. they wanted to give instant legalization to those who work on the farms for 60 days. Now. what about all those other people who come in and are working elsewhere. and what about the people who can adjust to status. and there are thousands and thousands of them who can that are unable to do that because the Department of Immigration does not provide the necessary personnel to have that done? In the city of Los Angeles every Monday one can find a line of people that surrounds that building trying to get their status adjusted. and when they reach the desk. there are only two clerks taking care of these thousands of people who can adjust their status but are unable to do so because there is no service in the Immigration Service of the United States. What we need in this country is immigration reform. We are for immigration reform.
