We are proud of that fact and we are proud of Taylor Hicks being crowned "American Idol." Mr. President. I am also pleased that the sponsors of the immigration bill we are debating accepted my preemption amendment that I originally offered in committee. That provision. which was included in the current bill. relates to day labor centers and is included in title III. My amendment makes clear that the provisions of title HI which regulate the recruiting. referring and hiring of undocumented aliens. preempt any State or local laws. The laws it preempts are those that require business entities. as a condition of conducting. continuing or expanding a business. to provide. build. fund or maintain a shelter. structure or designated area for use by day laborers at or near their place of business or take other steps that facilitate the employment of day laborers by others. Language identical to this preemption provision in the current Senate bill was included in H.R. 4437. the bill passed by the House of Representatives. Empirical research proves that day laborers in the United States are used overwhelmingly by undocumented migrants. I would like to enter into the RECORD along with this statement. an extensive January 2006 study of the day labor issue in this country entitled: "On the Corner: Day Labor in the United States." by Abel Valenzuela Jr. and Ana Luz Gonzalez of the UCLA Center for the Study of Urban Poverty.
