It has the potential to harm guest workers and American workers alike. Who. then. does it benefit? I dont think I need to tell my colleagues the answer. But unless we reform our standards for guest workers. we will be putting the demand for cheap labor above the dignity of immigrants and Americans alike. I voted to strip the guest worker provision from last years immigration bill. and I supported stripping it this year. And while the amendment offered by Senators DORGAN and BOXER did not pass. I am heartened that we adopted Senator BINGAMANS amendment to limit the program to 200.000 guest workers per year.
