The experts further testify that although there was some impact on the wages. there would not be a significant loss in wages. When the Senator from North Dakota talks about the costs of bringing in 10 million people. that simply is not what title IV does. The title he wishes to eliminate as to any immigrants coming into the country in the future is only open to those now in the country. Title IV provides that there be an annual cap of 325.000. with each guest worker employed for up to 3 years. renewable for an additional 3 years. Then the approach is that those individuals will return to their home country unless they can otherwise qualify to stay here. The guest workers will enjoy travel privileges in and out of the United States and portability between jobs. We allow workers to obtain green cards by selfpetitioning. if they qualify. and allow students with advanced degrees in science and math to stay in the United States. Title IV exempts workers with advanced degrees in science and math from green card caps. and it increases the annual allotment of H1B professional worker visas from 65.000 to 115.000. with a fluctuating cap. Title IV is important as part of a balanced program. If we do not provide for guest workers who can fill the needs of the American economy. then we are going to create a vacuum and a situation where illegal immigrants will come in to fill those needs. But if we calibrate the number of guest workers which can be accommodated by our economy. which are needed by our economy. then we will discourage illegal immigrants from coming in and taking jobs. finding jobs. which would otherwise be filled by the guest workers who come to this country legally. This title has been crafted very carefully by the Judiciary Committee. There is substantial support for it. as I understand it. on the other side of the aisle. even as there is some opposition on this side of the aisle.
