President. I would also like to clarify a point raised in the debate in the House yesterday regarding our provision of legal services for H2 workers. When we provided that it was our intent that H2A contracts "shall not violate any provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act authorizing the H2 Program or any regulations" and went on to authorize Legal Services representation to secure "the rights * * * under the * * * contract." we obviously intended that such workers could use Legal Services attorneys to sue not only to enforce breaches of their contract but also. obviously. when those contracts violated the act or regulations. To hold otherwise is to deny the plain meaning of those two dictates. For it would allow an employer to offer illegal contracts that violate the law. but allow suit if. and only if. there was a breach of thoseillegalterms.
