Now. that is at that level of work. and that is an entrylevel job. and it is critical to our economy that we have them. Americans. on the large part. have chosen not to do that kind of work anymore. But I recognize the need to recognize American citizens who do. and in my AgJOBS reform of the H2A program. we create a national labor pool and recognize. first. if someone who is an American citizen is seeking that kind of employment. we make sure they are eligible and eligible first. It is Americans first in this instance. as it should be. At the same time. there must be a clear recognition that there are now millions in this country. yes. here illegally. but all of them working. and working hard. and paying taxes. and not getting the benefit of those.
