The verification of identity provisions are in my view an overreaction to the need to assure that aliens and employers comply with the law. I think Americans and. for that matter. most people are lawabiding. The current situation. as the distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration well knows. is highly ambiguous on the question of hiring illegal aliens. Hiring illegal aliens is not against the law today. In addition. our immigration policy for the most part has been based in recent years upon the tolerance of illegal aliens working and living in the United States. Thus. I believe that if the law is changed as it is in section 101(a) of S. 2222 and elsewhere in the bill. most American employers will comply with the law.
