Mr. President. the purpose of my amendment is to require the Social Security Administration to print social security cards on banknote paper. As the distinguished chairman knows. as the Senate knows. for the first time. this legislation makes it a crime of perjury for an employer to employ an illegal alien. Under penalty of perjury. he must satisfy that he has verified that the individual is eligible to be employed. In the overwhelming number of instances. the identification presented will be the social security card. For half a century. this card has been printed on pasteboard. It is. without equal. the most easily counterfeited document issued by the Federal Government.
