This certainly does not Intend discrimination. and of course it may be that that very employer whom we now are talking about is going to use that as a cloak. as a screen. to say. "Dont impose these penalties on me because then I may be compelled not to hire a person who may not speak the language or who is of a different color." Are we going to provide this employer with the opportunity to hide behind this hyprocritical argument? That is what we are doing. I am saying that any employer who is wellintentioned. who wants to pay a fair. decent wage. will comply with the requirements of this legislation. It is only when he knowingly hires an undocumented alien that he will then be called to the bar of justice. If he has acted in good faith and shows that he has examined identity documentsa simple passport. a drivers license. a social security cardhe has no problem. Why do we impose burdens on the employer?
