These companies may be exploiting people in desperate situations. The study is not aimed at the men and women who use these businesses for legitimate companionship. Instead. it is a very positive and important step toward gathering the information we need so that we can determine the extent to which these companies contribute to the very troubling problems of domestic violence against immigrant women and immigration marriage fraud. To be sure. there are provisions in this bill which I do not support. The triple fence mandate has Congress micromanaging the INS and unnecessarily waiving important environmental laws. And I regret very much that the Senate positions on summary exclusion and asylum reform did not prevail in the final compromise bill. Lastly. we could have done more to protect the integrity of the workplace. both by enhancing the Department of Labors ability to enforce employer sanctions and by rejecting the. Senatepassed "intent standard" which may jeopardize the rights of American citizens and legal immigrants. Despite these flaws. this bipartisan legislation deserves our support. The United States is a product of an immigration tradition marked by generosity. compassion and commitment to hard work. In adopting these important changes. we are protecting that tradition by fighting the deeds of those who wish to exploit it. Thank you.
