Census estimated the foreign guest worker population at 40.000 outnumbering the local population by at least 10.000 and because of lax protections of foreign guest workers under CNMI law many were subject to abuses by their employers. Much of this abuse had been documented by our national media. human rights organizations. and our Committees former Chairman GEORGE MILLER. In that decade of the 90s and into the 21st century. despite the clear need to reform the system in the CNMI. any attempts at extending U.S. immigration law or minimum wage laws were met with resistance in Congress. I loathe thinking that Members of this body would want such a system to flourish. Or that anyone would view what occurred in the CNMI as an economic experiment. grown in a "petri dish" because of the CNMIs distance and relative isolation from the U.S. mainland.
