However. if this safeguard is accepted. and if it is coupled with the other amendments I will be offering to provide for an independent review of employer sanctions and increased funding for the enforcement of existing labor and civil rights laws. then I believe minority groups in our country will be willing to take the risks involved in an employer sanctions program. If they are adopted. minorities in our society will be given a pledge that. if a pattern of discrimination develops. Congress will not ignore it. Without that assurance they will not support this billnor can I. Finally. Mr. President. as someone who has followed immigration legislation over a period of years. I have seen where provisions have been built into the law for the purpose of not discriminating. but nonetheless end up having a discriminatory impact. I think the best way we can try to address this in this case is to require a Presidential certification.
