Finally. I must comment on the remarks of Mr. BARLETTA who saysand I have heard other people say itthat the undocumented aliensor the documented aliens. for that matterpose a threat to American jobs. The fact is they do jobs that other people dont want. and more to the point. what poses a threat to American living standards is the fact that they cant enforce standards. The fact that an undocumented alien cant complain to an enforcement agency when he is paid below minimum wage or when he is exploited. that reduces wage levels for everyone. If you want to help wage levels for American workers. let the undocumented people who are here and who are going to stay here. let them come out of the shadows. pass a comprehensive bill. let them work legally. and enforce the minimum wage law. It will benefit all American workers.
