I have serious concerns about the development of this program. Similar kinds of programs have been considered and rejected by the Hesburgh Commission. The Barbara Jordan Commission. which really had many thoughtful men and women on it. reviewed these kinds of programs and expressed the same kinds of concerns that I have expressed here briefly this afternoon. For that reason. as well as the very important adverse impact that I think it will have on wages. and because of its impact in terms of opening up some unpredictable. unknown. and uncertain aspects of immigration policy that I oppose this. Having said all that. I commend my friends.
