I cannot presume to talk for the committee. but let me remind the gentleman we have in front of us here an appropriation bill for the Department of Justice. which is a vehicle for increasing funding. through the amendment process. for what we are trying to accomplish. What the gentleman is referring to. and I am totally sympathetic. is a whole range of legislative initiatives that would deal with the basic problem of the magnet that the U.S. economy provides. Such questions as the treatment of undocumented aliens. the status of undocumented aliens here today. reaching the question of the incentive to work here. perhaps through employer sanctions. a whole range of issues that are currently under intensive study by the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy. which will be making their decisions before the end of the year. reporting to the next Congress early in the next Congress. At that time. if I have anything to say about it as one of the Commissioners. we certainly will be presenting the Congress with a thoughtful package.
