Mr. President. no matter how you slice it. this is a major cut for workers with the Chambliss amendment. No. 1. No. 2. we are trying to remedy the situation between documented and undocumented workers. We hear we have to do this because we are forced to have illegal workers. We are changing all of that. We are putting in place a system so we will have verification. We do believe this figure. the $7.86. for workers who work hard. play by the rules. and are trying to provide for their families. is not unfair. at a minimum. That is why I hope the Chambliss amendment will be defeated.
