That is one reason why they have a rule that waives all points of order. to protect all actions which were not the original intent of the House. Then there are other reasons. For example. they dropped the Moakley amendment that would have protected Salvadorans and Nicaraguans from deportation for 2 years while the GAO prepared their report on conditions in Central America and at that time would give Congress this time to consider legislation to extend or revise the extended voluntary departure protection. That was changed. I remember the discussion on just that one point. It seemed to me that this House voted affirmatively for the Moakley amendment. but that was taken out. as were other things in the legislation. Now. we know that sanctions are in this bill and that every employer in the United States. including housewives who may hire a maid. will be effected by sanctions with the exception of course. of the farmers and the growers. We also know that the bill makes available a steady flow of cheap labor to farmers starting with 350.000 who worked on the farms in the previous years. give them almost instant legalization. and after the first year give them a green card so that they can work anyplace else in the United States with full rights as a legal resident. They provided two things. First. a magnet for those people to come in to work on the farms because the farmers are exempt from sanctions. and. second. by exempting the farmer. he can continue to hire anyone who may be here illegally. in addition to the original 350.000. and still not be subject to the sanction provisions.
