But I also know they will not go home. The 25 percent of the wages that would be withheld from these individuals is probably less than what they would pay to a coyote to come across the border today. So to think that we are somehow going to be remedying the problem of illegal immigration by bringing in a quarter of a million desperate agricultural workers a year is absolutely ludicrous. Those who would say with a straight face that we are doing something about illegal immigration in a bill that contains the Pombo amendment should have red faces indeed. I urge everyone to oppose the amendment.
