The amendment which was before the conferees on a previous occasion carried two further provisions which I can readily understand were exceedingly objectionable to some. The amendment as it was rejected by the conference committee prohibited not only the employment of aliens who were unlawfully within this country when the employer knew that the aliens were here unlawfully. it not only prohibited such employment when the employer had reasonable ground to believe that the aliens were unlawfully in this country. but it prohibited such employment if the employer did not take the affirmative step of making inquiry of each of his employees. Further than that. it required of every employer that he become an adjunct to the law enforcement service. to the Immigration Service. It required him to look up the appropriate immigration official. and seek to get from him such information as he could acquire with reference to any alien as to whom there was any question.
