Mr. President. under this legislation we are focusing on employer sanctions to deal with the problems of undocumented aliens. It seems to me that the focus of INS in the future should be on the front office. not on the fields. If they are going to go into the fields. they should be required to have the search warrants which are required even in a barn or a factory. The problem we have seen in the past has been the indiscriminate character of the sweeps. Not only are they often a disservice to the aliens but also. in many instances. a grave disservice to American citizens who are caught up in them.
