Mr. President. for almost a decade illegal immigration to our country has been out of control. Reliable estimates now plate the annual influx of illegal aliens at over 1 million. Sadly. Congress has failed to act to defend our national sovereignty and the future of our citizens. At a time when we should be acting decisively to stop illegal immigration. there is talk of granting amnesty to illegal aliens. I suspect that 8 million unemployed Americans would question the wisdom of an amnesty policy which rewards lawbreakers. Our distinguished former colleague. Secretary of Health and Human Services Richard S. Schweiker. set forth a compelling case against amnesty 4 years ago. Secretary Schweiker also made a persuasive case for enacting sanctions against employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Mr. President.
