The establishment of the task force to monitor any possible discriminatory effects of the bill. as well as their role in transmitting recommendations to the Attorney General for use in implementing future regulations is a positive factor which benefits significantly all ethnic minorities which would be affected by this bill. I am confident that those regulations will reflect constitutional guarantees against discrimination on the basis of national origin and established EEOC guidelines on employment practices. I also believe that increased border enforcement could be a more effective alternative to those promoting current section 101 employer sanction standards. There are more police officers assigned to guard the Capitol and adjacent buildings in Congress than there are INS officers patrolling our borders during any 8hour period. Most illegal border crossings occur within a 60mile gap bordering parts of Texas and California. Border guards know when and where illegal crossings occur. but lack the proper resources to enforce the law. In addition.
