I cannot overemphasize the seriousness of this fact. particularly in light of the long and welldocumented history of job discrimination and other forms of exclusion experienced by Mexican Americans. and other Spanish speaking groups in this country. Because of the above problems. Mr. Speaker. I believe that if we are going to imprison an employer for "knowingly" employing an illegal alien. which I believe we should do. then we should provide a document upon which the employer can "knowingly" rely. Anything less would be unfair. and would result in endless consternation. confusion. litigation. demeaning discrimination. unnecessary embarrassment. and administrative problems. This matter requires simplification. not confusion and litigation.
