READ FULL TESTIMONY By Roy Beck I am scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee later this morning on one of many bills proposed to increase green cards and immigration at a time of incredibly high unemployment. My remarks probably could apply to any bill that increases green cards. Members of Congress almost never consider the cumulative cost of all the green cards they decide to hand out. I call on them to put that consideration first.
We represent urge you to view S. 424 as a piece of the larger fabric of our national community. By adding green cards without reducing others, S. 424 directly contradicts the recommendations of President Clinton’s sustainability commission. passing S. 424 would be irresponsible to the environment, to future generations and to the most economically vulnerable members of our national community.
