Earlier in the debate someone made the statement that the Association of the Bar of the City of New York opposed the bill. If by that is meant that the 40.000 members of the association have considered the bill and opposed it. then that is not so. All we have is a letter signed by the Chairman of the Associations Committee on Immigration and Nationality Law. The letter is erroneous on its face. for it states thatThere are already adequate provisions in the law to deal with aliens who accept unauthorized employment. Yet the committee admits there is an "unsatisfactory situation." Its solution is "to effectively regulate the flow of persons across the border." Their solution simply begs the question which is: How do we effectively regulate the flow of persons across the border? After months of hearings and study. your committee has concluded that the only effective way is to dry up the demand for illegal alien labor. That is what this bill would do. The statement of the gentleman from Texas that somehow this bill sets up a star chamber proceeding is the exact opposite of actuality.
