Speech #1100054089

I think that each of those amendments. the one 1 offered 2 weeks ago and this amendment I have been talking about. will help us to achieve that. I urge my colleagues to carefully consider the consequences of leaving the existing procedures in place for Y1 guest workers. I strongly believe that if we keep this provision in its current form. we are going to create an expensive and unworkable program for employers. a system that harms American workers. and an incentive for guest workers to overstay their visas. For that reason. I hope. when the opportunity comes for a vote. my colleagues will support our amendment.
