Bob Novak exposes a couple of things in the Senate Bill that sound ill-advised.
*It extends the Davis-Bacon Act's requirement for the payment of ''prevailing wage'' to all temporary guest workers. That puts them ahead of Americans, who have this protection only on federal job sites.
*Foreign guest farm workers, admitted under the bill, cannot be ''terminated from employment by any employer ... except for just cause.'' In contrast, American ag workers can be fired for any reason.
The best thing about the illegals is their ability to work cheaply and off the books. Law enforcement and the media have been quiet about this undercurrent up until now. Once they are legitimized they no longer will be performing cheap services, but they will be paraded and victims of oppression. Who do you think foots the bill for their social services then?
