Chairman. I rise in opposition to H.R. 982. Stipulating at the outset the enormous problem of illegal aliens in the United States and understanding the concern of the distinguished chairman of the Judiciary Committee in his and the Committees attempt to solve this problem. I submit that this bill is not the vehicle to do the job. It is instead: First. a blow at the employers of this Nation and. second. a bill with deep racial overtones. We have already made our employerslarge and smallthe unpaid tax collectors of the country: This bill will now make them our unpaid immigration officerswith civil sanctions for noncompliance. How can this bill be racist? Who does it seriously damage?
