For example. let me state that the question on sanctions is of great concern among many of the people that I had an opportunity to visit with from California to Texas to New York. across our Nation. One comes from the people who are producers. from the farmers. some of whom to this day claim that there is discriminatory. at times enforcement of the law by the law enforcement agencies. I have not delved personally Into all those complaints. but by listening to the people on the border from California to Texas there is a great concern that many times there is highhanded handling either of the illegal alien or of the farmer or the owner of the farm or ranch. They then feel that with a sanctions law such as this. it will be easier and more prejudicial to them when they. in fact. have not infringed any law. I would be really sacrificing my integrity to my oath of office if I were to say that you should not prosecute those that are guilty under the law. That is not what I am saying. but that when there is a rampant or widespread coverage in an area or in a specific factory or in a specific part of the city. legal and illegal aliens are all brought in and the managers or the owners of these establishments have great concern. Then on the other side there is great concern that you may be establishing something that would. in fact and in law. make citizens of a secondclass nature because I know that it is very easy for some Members. and I know that many would support the proposition. that. well. it is very simple. let us have a national ID card. This is personally abhorrent to me and I think it would be contrary to the Constitution and to the concepts and precepts on which this Nation was founded that we should revert. as some totalitarian nations do. where you cannot move from one street to another unless you have an identification card.
