At the present time. if there is some kind of raid on a plant or a factory. the individuals who are picked up are undocumented aliens and the employers who may be exploiting them. are set free. There is no question that the current system works a hardship on the individual involved and no hardship on the employers. Under the legislation. if there is a pattern or practice of the hiring of undocumented aliens. there is a sanction against the employers. I shall let the chairman of the subcommittee spell it out in some detail. However. there is.
