Mr. Speaker. I take this opportunity to convey my concerns regarding the proposed Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982 . I am particularly concerned about the shortcomings of this proposed legislation. It is apparent to me that although serious attempts have been made to amend this legislation with substantive amendments during markup in the House and Senate. these amendments which sought to improve the bill were not incorporated. My analysis of the legislation clearly reveals that the potential problems with employer sanctions. H2 guest workers. erosion of judicial review. proposal for a national identification card. lax enforcement of existing labor laws protecting agricultural workers. and the legalization program. have been inadequately addressed as reflected in the House Judiciary Committee report.
