The bill also includes significant labor protections to ensure that temporary workers receive the same wages. benefits. and working conditions as similarlyemployed U.S. workers. Thus. the bill does everything possible to prevent temporary workers from becoming a secondary class of citizens or from depressing American worker wages. Passing this immigration bill is just the first step. The House passed a punitive. enforcementonly immigration bill that I believe will exacerbate rather than ameliorate the immigration crisis. The House bill sparked protests across the country. Millions of people took to the streets to call for a comprehensive and humane approach to immigration reform. I hope that the House has heeded their calls. I hope that the President can rally support for a comprehensive solution.
