Mr. Speaker. that we would have done a number of other things if illegal labor were not an option. And perhaps we would have recruited from other countries. and gone to this Congress and asked this Congress under its authority granted in the Constitution to open up legal immigration into the United States. We might have reached out and recruited people to come here. people that had assets. that had skills. that were trained. that were trainable. people that could best and the most quickly assimilate into this society and this economy. We probably would have raised the numbers of legal immigrants if we had not had the border open for the illegals to fill that demand. That would have been one alternativeto go to more legal labor. in a prudent. manageable style that we could regulate. Another alternative. and it would happen more than it has. would be to develop technology to replace the labor.
