President. I encourage my colleagues to heed very carefully the arguments made by the Senator from Texas on this. I think it would be a very beneficial program in this country to not try to have the small businessmen of America end up being the ones who have to enforce the immigration laws of the United States. If an employee comes in. a potential employee. to a small business. farm. ranch. or small business on Main Street and applies for work. if they have some sort of identification. a social security card is primarily what they use today. but a social security card or some other acceptable form of identification and present that to the employer. and if the employer then would later be penalized or have charges brought against him. what may happen is that the small business employers. in order to protect themselves. will gradually start being less and less inclined to hire Americans with a Hispanic birthright. I think that is a fact.
