Chairman. the need. from every study that we have seen. is for more skilled workers so that we can compete better in the international marketplace. That is the priority that should be given. which unfortunately. 4300 does not stop. Furthermore. 4300 has these fatal flaws: There is no reimbursement for State and local governments for the costs that they would incur for educating. for providing health care and government services to hundreds of thousands of additional immigrants. Mr. Chairman. of course those burdens are going to fall directly on taxpayers. It has two major amnesty provisions. It rewards the lawbreaker. in effect penalizing the law abider. and Mr. Chairman. the amnesty provisions are such that many illegal aliens. who are here as recently as January 1 of this year. will be allowed to stay in this country. There is no attempt in 4300 to count illegal aliens in the total number of immigrants. There is a cap for the first time ever on the number of temporary skilled workers allowed to come to this country. 4300 bows to the pressure of special interest. and it singles out certain countries for special treatment. Finally.
