Mr. Speaker. after years of Congress failing to address outofcontrol immigration. the 104th Congress is set to pass muchneeded immigration reform. We all want to crack down on illegal immigration. There are two amendments to be offered today. which are very important to the agricultural community in America. The PomboChambliss amendment will help reduce illegal immigration. The Goodlatte amendment only makes a bad program worse. The current guest worker program simply does not work and further tinkering will not help. We need a new program that will make sure seasonal agricultural workers do not stay in this country. The Pombo amendment assures that these legal temporary workers will only be hired when American workers cannot be found.
