No. I wish to emphasize that this bill containing the additional language to which you have referred as well as the bill which passed the House last year would impose no direct obligations or legal requirements upon an employer to identify or locate illegal aliens who may be on his payroll. The only time that an employer is subject to civil and criminal penalties is when he has actual knowledge that such employee is an alien who is illegally in the United States. The chairman is correct in his position that no burden is placed upon the employer to screen his current or future employees. Nevertheless. a prudent employer would be welladvised to be prepared to show his good faith in the event any complaint is made concerning any of his continuing employees who are illegal aliens.
