I believe many Members are very familiar with the bill. and I appreciate the time each of them has already taken individually to study this complex legislation. Let me however here very briefly explain the major provisions of the bill. H.R. 7357 contains sanctions against employers who knowinglyand I need to emphasize that word. knowinglyhire undocumented aliens. There are escalating penalties. but each violator is entitled to receive a warning for the first violation. The bill contains various protections against possible discrimination arising from this provision. such as the requirement that all new hireswhatever their race. creed. or colorhave their documents checked. and that there be monitoring of the program by the President and the Civil Rights Commission. and by a special task force composed of the Attorney General. the Secretary of Labor. and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
