Mr. Chairman. during fiscal year 1972 the Immigration and Naturalization Service deported some 500.000 illegal aliens. That was more than the number of aliens who entered the country as immigrants. It has been estimated there are some 1 to 2 million illegal aliens in this country. We have tried everything to stop the hiring of illegal aliens and nothing has availed us at all. This is the bnily method left to us. Just adding manpower. just giving more agents to the Immigration and Naturalization Service is not going to solve this situation. We had to devise something of this sort. because the sore spot is the desire on the part of unscrupulous employers to hire at lower wages under pitiful conditions these unskilled illegal aliens. to labor under very. very severe conditions. This is the method we think will curb a great many of the evils and solve much of the difficulty. At least we have to try it.
