Madam President. I offer this amendment on behalf of myself and Senator GRASSLEY. The new Y guest worker program included in the immigration bill would require employers to recruit Americans before hiring a guest worker. That is our first obligation. If there is a job opening in America. an American should have the first chance to get it. That is the intent of the bill. but there is one loophole. The loophole allows the Secretary of Labor to declare a labor shortage and then waive the requirement of offering the job to an American. We dont define what a labor shortage is.
