The Jordan Commission. remembering the late Barbara Jordan. recommended this increase. since studies show that most employers who hire illegal workers also violate labor standards. This goes together. We want to deal with this problem and the only way is to move to the Senatepassed version that authorizes 350 additional inspectors to enforce these violations or alleged violations of Federal Wage and hour laws. The report of the Jordan Commission concluded with this statement: The commission believes that an effective work site strategy for deterring illegal immigration requires enhancement of labor standards enforcement. Now. I expect that the 350 additional inspectors would be used to enhance enforcement of labor standards in those areas where high concentrations of illegals are employed.
