Mr. Speaker. today I am reintroducing a bill which would disallow employers from deducting from their gross income the salaries the employers pay to their illegal alien employees. I realize that the House just passed a bill that places a greater responsibility on the employer to hire only American citizens. and that if he does not he is subject to legal action. but I feel that it is unfair under our present tax laws to allow an employer to list all salaries paid to these employees as business expenses on this tax return regardless of whether some of these employees are in the United States illegally. It seems to me that it is not proper to let an employer who hires illegal aliens to be given an unjust advantage over the employer who hires legitimately. At this time the number of illegal aliens pose a serious challenge to the workers in Texas and the United States in general. and I feel this bill is another way to attack this serious problem of employing illegal aliens.
