I do not believe this Government and the Congress should tolerate further delay in responding to this urgent situation. It is a reality we have got to face. I certainly understand the concerns that have been traditionally expressed by the opponents of employer sanctions legislation. Civil liberty groups worry about discrimination and national identifiers. as well as the prospect of massive deportations. Employer groups maintain that they should not be charged with the responsibility for enforcing our immigration laws. Others worry that legalization rewards lawbreakers. These are all legitimate concerns. specifically since we are to a great extent entering into "unchartered waters." But I must stress that the bill has not ignored these concerns.
