Chairman. let me make just a couple of points. First. the gentleman is not correct when the gentleman says that this bill would require an employer to certify anything. The bill does not require the employer to take any affirmative action. all it says is that he shall not knowingly hire an illegal alien. Then it goes on to detail various ways that he can create bona fide proof. if he so desires. in case anyone should challenge him as to whether he knowingly hired an illegal alien. So he does not have to certify anything. The bill says that all the employer need do. if he wants to protect himself and make doubly sure is to ask for some statement from the employee that he is legally permitted to work in the United States or he can ask the employee to fill out. when he signs the W4 form. a statement that he is legally entitled to be here in the United States.
