“What do you do? All right, you have made a recruitment, you do not think you have workers available, it has been certified by the Government. As you are approaching your harvest season, 150 U.S. workers coming from the earlier crop show up. Are these people turned down because 10 days from now they will be getting some foreign guest workers? Do they turn these U.S. workers down and say, ``No, no job available for you because I've already gotten approval to bring in 100 foreign guest workers?'' It is all how you want to balance this thing. When you are dealing with people who make on an average of $5,000 a year, they are our lowest paid workers, I think we have been tilting so heavily on the side of agribusiness that this is one little protection they have. Do not eviscerate that. That is my problem with your amendment.”
