Speaker. I propose the following steps to deal with the illegals already here. All of the steps are necessary for a complete. coordinated attack on this problem. First. the Congress must enact legislation to penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. The enactment of such legislation would have an immediate and dramatic impact and would initiate a massive exodus of the illegal alien population. By enacting such legislation. the Congress could open more than 1 million jobs to Americans. At the same time. Mr. Speaker. the Congress must understand the problems that such a statute could cause for employers. If the Government is to impose criminal sanctions for knowingly employing an illegal employee. the Government must provide the employer with a means to accurately identify the person and ascertain the employment status of all present and prospective employees.
