The truth of the matter is that there are 20 countries that have sanctions at the present time some with penalties as high as $20.000 that now realize that sanctions do not work. A GAO report clearly indicates that it does not work in any of those countries. and it goes on to say that the reasons why it does not work. or one of the reasons. is that they do not have enough money to enforce the law. What makes the Members of this body. or anyone. think that we can do better when we do not even put enough money to make the Immigration Service effective in the Job that they are now assigned to do? We all know that they are not doing their job properly because the Congress is cutting back funds for the Service instead of increasing funds sufficient for them to provide a proper service. Then as we go on we find that there is a system of verification. an ID card. that will no doubt be selectively applied to Hispanics.
