Mr. Speaker. it has been almost 3 years since I first introduced legislation that would establish a simple. equitable. and costeffective program to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into this country. During that time. perhaps 2 or 3 million additional foreign aliens have illegally entered the United States in search of jobs. While Congress and the administration quibble over such things as immigrant quotas and the problems of political refugees. we blindly ignore an influx problem of huge proportions. Rather than invest in costly and draconian measures to erect a Berlin Wall along our southern borders. as some suggest. or harass American citizens of foreign extraction. we must focus attention on the root cause of the illegal alien problemthe employment of illegal aliens in the United States. It is well known that noncitizens pour into this country by the tens of thousands every month to look for work. Without the lure of employment in the United States. these people would probably never leave their homelands. Jobs are now readily available to the undocumented worker. Some employers are eager to make use of the large. cheap. and willing pool of illegal labor.
