I fear that employer sanctions if discussed as an individual item in itself would be a rather tough. long haul. without any kind of accompanying legislation such as verifier system. increased enforcement and the other things that S. 2222 calls for. I again believe that if we do nothing with employer sanctions. if we do nothing with verification systems worse prejudice and discrimination will happen. For if we continue under existing law we will beef up the INS and the border patrol and say. "There. go ahead and do your duties with the new moneys we have given you." We will see a continuing array of searches. We will see a continuing array of intrusion in the workplace. into various operations. and that cannot be good for the minorities in this country. I urge that the amendment be defeated.
