I thank my colleague. Senator DORGAN. for being such a leader on this particular part of the bill which I have found extremely troubling from day one. I note that the chairman of the Judiciary Committee said we better not take the guest worker program out because. oh. my goodness. if we do take it out. there will be more illegal immigration. Well. maybe I am wrong on thisI do not think I ambut isnt a basic part of this bill to strengthen the border. the protections at the border? And isnt that part of what we are trying to do so we can stop the flow of illegal immigrationand having done that. allow the 11 to 12 million who are already here. who have clean records. who are willing to step forward. who are willing pay a fine. the chance at earned legalization? And then there is another piece that deals with specific sectors of our economy. such as agriculture. where we know there are problems with the workforce. With respect to the agriculture industry. we set up a program called AgJOBS. which I credit Senator FEINSTEIN for putting it in the bill.
