So even though there are some who have talked about a guest worker program or a temporary worker program. this is neither. This is an alternative path to citizenship for 12 million people. permanent status in the United States. regardless of whether our economy is good or our economy is bad. And when it is bad. these individuals will prove stiff competition indeed for America and people born In these United States. or legal immigrants. There is also no provision in this billand this is another concern I have for the American workerthat there be a willing employer and a willing employee. In other words. under this bill individuals can come into the country and self petition for green cards or legal permanent residency. Thus. here again. another important protection for the American worker is totally ignored under this bill. Another grave concern I have. and this goes back to 1986. is there is absolutely no provision made for employer verification of the eligibility of prospective employees.
