Mr. President. I thank the distinguished chairman. I rise to oppose the Kennedy amendment. I come to the floor as chairman of the subcommittee on occupational safety in the HELP Committee. I come to the floor because the issue this amendment addresses has nothing to do with immigration. It affects immigrants and nonimmigrants. It affects employment. It amends the Occupational Safety and Health Act. the National Labor Relations Act. and the Fair Labor Standards Act. It is a massive increase in fines and penalties. It changes many penalties from civil to criminal. There has not been a single hearing or anything else.
