I have the opportunity to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee. We had one hearing that dealt with these issues and dealt with some of the issues the Senator has been talking about specifically. Professor Richard Freemanand these were pretty proimmigration panels. but I think they all agree with Senator DORGANRichard Freeman holds the Herbert Asherman Chair. professor of economics at Harvard University. This was his quote just a few weeks ago at a hearing: One of the concerns when immigrants come in that way. they may take some jobs from some Americans and drive down the wages of some Americans and. obviously. if there is a large number of immigrants coming in and if they are coming In at a bad economic time. thats likely to happen. Is that consistent with the Senators views and that of Professor Samuelson?
