These are people who are hardworking Americans. taxpaying citizens. Many of them have never asked for any direct help from the Federal Government other than what everyone gets from their Government: good police. good fire protection. hopefully their streets paved. the potholes are kept to a minimum. schools for their children to go to. basic Government services that are required. Most of these people have not asked for any particular Government help. and yet they find themselves out of work. in a position to start building their city only to find that the Federal system of awarding contracts. because of certain rules. certain actions this administration has taken. and a lack of oversight. has allowed companies to come in from out of State and hire workers who are undocumented while literally pushing aside Louisiana citizens who have the skills to rebuild and the desperate need. the obvious need. for the job itself. In the case Senator BYRON DORGAN has brought to our attention. as the hearing went on last week. about 75 electricians from the area that was affectedmany of those electricians had lost their homes. Their homes had been flooded.
