For example. in the construction business. 12 percent in the construction industry are illegal workers. Thirteen percent is the unemployment rate in the construction industry. There are the other comparable rates. In those kind of sectors where there is a high concentration of illegals. there is also a high unemployment that corresponds with that. The reason is because those American workers have been displaced by cheaper labor and they cant afford to go do that work for that kind of money. So. Mr. Speaker. there is piece after piece of this immigration issue that needs to be discussed. It is a very. very complicated issue. It is a very emotional issue.
