Mr. Speaker. I continue to have grave reservations about the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. H.R. 7357. My concern about this measure is shared by my California colleague In the Senate. Senator ALAN CRANSTON. I have included for the RECORD Senator CRANWTONS recent statement on this bill. I have been informed that the House of Representatives may strip the alien legaliza. tion provisions from the immigration bill which was passed by the Senate last summer. This action. if it happened. would be a grievous mistake. I opposed the immigration bill in the Senate last summer because it would impose expensive. dangerous requirements that every person working in the United States have some form of authorization by the government in order to work. That Is a major step toward a police state. There are no emergency conditions in our nation which would Justify such an extraordinary imposition upon our people.
