Speech #1040201758

I think it is important that all employers be treated equally and all employees be treated equally. The situation has to be dealt with in the same sense. and that is true of the status quo. and that will be changed if the Simpson amendment today is adopted. What was the background of this? What led to people looking at this and saying. "Hey. there is a problem." It is my understanding that before the 1986 act was passed. 15 percent of the illegal immigration problem in the work force was in agriculture and yet 75 percent of all searches. all the raids occurred In agriculture. That is no coincidence. They went where it was easier.
