Mr. Speaker. 2 years ago I urged my colleagues on this floor to defeat the immigration bill for it sought to reform our immigration laws on the backs of American farmworkers. It did this by institutionalizing a system of oversupply and worker exploitation in Western agriculture that exists now in a de facto situation. This time we have done it a different way. We have finally dealt with the asserted needs of agriculture in a fashion that protects the legal status and the rights and the dignity of farmworkers. in a way that we can all be proud of. For that.
