On the other hand. to require the employers to obtain some kind of proof of citizenship or permission to work in the United States would undoubtedly work a hardship on citizens. particularly people who do not have drivers licenses. passports. or birth certificates. I particularly emphasize the following postion of Mr. Fierros testimony: If an employer werent sure that a prospective employee was telling the truth. he might not hire that person for fear of prosecution. This would have a detrimental. adverse effect on the employment of Mexican Americans as well as those labeled as foreign born. H.R. 982 in its present form abets discrimination against Mexican Americans and foreign born persons and will encourage employers to deny Mexican Americans an equal employment opportunity on the basis of national origin. Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee.
