Speaker. though I would like to think that our version of employer sanctions contains some refinements and clarifications which have not been seen in previous versions. In all honesty. it is a concept which has been with us a long. long time. Four successive administrations starting with that of President Richard Nixon in 1970 up to and including that of President Ronald Reagan. have proposed and supported penalties against employers who knowingly hire undocumented aliens. This body passed employer sanctions legislation both in 1972 and in 1973 by ratios of 6 to 1. Unfortunately. the other body did not act on these proposals.
