Then I might say. as I rise to support the motion to instruct of my ranking member. the gentleman from Michigan. . how can we eliminate the Labor Department inspectors that would in fact be able to eliminate some of the very problems that the Honorable Barbara Jordan from Texas. as leader of the Presidents commission. indicated we had to do to protect workers. and to avoid the paying of wages below the minimum wage and unsafe working conditions? We have already determined that the Labor Department and its inspector division has found some millions of dollars of situations where minimum wages were not paid. or unsafe conditions. It seems if we are truly sincere about reform in immigration that we will have those inspectors. Last. let me say how unfortunate it is that if some of our citizens who have to be verified. particularly Hispanic citizens with Hispanic surnames. find out that they are legal and then they have no remedy. no way to address their grievances. I would say we need to look at making this a better reform and do a better job.
