There will be an amendment to correct this sponsored by the gentleman from Michigan . myself. the gentleman from Kansas . the gentleman from California . the gentleman from Virginia . and the gentleman from Illinois . I urge the Members to look at that. Legal immigration is good for this country. I also at some other point. if there is time left in general debate or later on in the amendments. want to speak to the Pombo amendment which as we sit here and trumpet how we are going to stop illegal immigration. and here I am joined by my colleagues from Texas. would create a massive loophole for a new agricultural guest worker program which would flood this country with foreign guest workers at a time when we have a massive surplus of farm labor creating just the kind of job displacement that both gentlemen from Texas have spoken about.
