I am concerned with potential discrimination. but I am more concerned with what it imposes on someone who looks like me in the Southwest. what you have to do to ask for a Job. Then the gentleman from California. my distinguished colleague and dear friend . wants to add further insult to this. that there be a list. if you had just applied for a job. whether you were accepted or not. so that then you can come back for complaints on discrimination. But here in the bill It says that the list shall be the document of the Attorney General. it shall be made available to the Servicethat means the Immigration Serviceor the Department of Labor. So here comes the border control: "Hey. Mr. Employer. I want to see your list." Sixty people applied for ten positions. forty were not hired. What business is it of the Government or the Immigration Service or the Labor Department of the 40 that were not hired? Why should they have their name and address? And that is my concern.
