I have urged that we act to see to it that those workplace laws are enforced. My State of California does have such a program. It is not a substitute for stopping the employment of undocumented workers. But it has been effective in securing a higher degree of compliance with basic workplace laws. In fact. recent exit interviews conducted in detention centers operated by INS show that illegal alien workers employed by California employers suffered less economic exploitation and law violation than workers from other States. In my view. we should move toward a significant enforcement program to receive better compliance with our tax laws which require withholding of taxes on wages and prompt payment of payroll taxes for social security and unemployment insurance. In addition.
