Speech #970055472

Mr. Speaker. today I am introducing legislation which provides for a tougher national policy regarding immigration and refugee matters. This legislation is necessary because of the demonstrated shortcomings of the Refugee Reform Act of 1980. as well as other weak laws. lax enforcement. and too many economic incentives for excessive entry of foreigners into our country. Our present policy has resulted in increased Government expenses and the displacement of American workers from their jobs. My legislation provides for smaller immigration quotas. stronger deportation rules. harsher penalties on employers hiring illegal aliens. in addition to measures which place restrictions on public assistance or tax breaks to both illegal aliens and their employers. I have prepared a sectionbysection analysis of this legislation and insert It in the RECORD at this point:
