But in an effort to get around the agricultural worker provisions that cleared the Senate. we have created an absolutely unworkable situation with reference to the agricultural workers and the privileges that we have given to them in this bill. I believe we are going to have a situation where our enforcement people will literally be besieged. There will be an invitation to fraud and abuse the likes of which we have not seen. as illegal aliens struggle to find a way to qualify as 90day workers in the agricultural fields of this country. in the past and in the future under the replenishment provisions. Although I have heard the Senator indicate that they will be somewhat controlled by Cabinet members who make the determinations. I am convinced that it is an invitation. an invitation to disaster and an invitation to a bit of servitude that I do not think anyone intended.
