I had the privilege of serving in the House with Bob Krueger. now a Texas businessman and professor of government at Rice University in Houston. Recently. I was sent an article he wrote for the Dallas Morning News that appeared late last year about the new immigration law. It is a thoughtful. balanced presentation on a problem that has vexed our country. There is no question that we will have to monitor very closely what has happened as a result of the passage of the immigration law. but there is also no question that we had to act. We were in the ridiculous situation of making it illegal for undocumented aliens to work but making it legal to hire them. In the long run. the passage of that bill will prove to be a step forward for the Nation. It is not a substitute for working with Mexico and Central American countries and others on their economic problems.
