Undocumented Workers an Economic Necessity

NEW JERSEY, MAY 20, 11:00 PM EST - US Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez said today Americans do not want to take up jobs the undocumented workers are doing. Speaking on CNN Late Edition tonight, he said the unemployment rate in USA was below the forty-years average. Many critics of the immigration bill view unemployment being an effect of undocumented workers stealing jobs from average Americans, which he said was not true. He also likened import of  food in USA due to lack of agriculture and farm workers, traditionally performed by immigrants mostly undocumented.

Defending the bill, Carlos said, "It's not amnesty. They're going to have to pay a penalty. They're going to have to wait in line. They're going to have to undergo a criminal background check."

The bill would offer legal status to most of the nation's 12 million illegal immigrants while also toughening border security. Debate is expected to begin Monday.
