The American people expect and deserve to have the Federal Government set an example for private industry when dealing with a system so essential to the health and wellbeing of our people. Let us note that there is a lot of talk about prevailing wage going on in Congress as if we have to ensure that there is a higher wage given to people who work on government projects. Well. the very easiest way to do that is to ensure that contractors who work on government programs are not hiring illegal immigrants. What we have here is a situation where a large number of people in this body are unwilling to confront the illegal immigration challenge at the expense of whom? The American working people whose jobs are being bid down in terms of the wages and the American taxpayers. who are. in this case. if we dont confront that problem. are going to basically have to pay higher taxes in order to pay for the same project. So. thus. we have the American working people and the American taxpayer both being hurt by not forcing employers to ensure that they are hiring legal workers for these various programs.
