He has done so with good humor. with remarkable courtesy. Having said that. I am going to vote "no" on this measure. with great reluctance. I urge my colleagues to recognize that we will not dispose. with this legislation. of the difficult problem of illegal immigration. That is because it is based on a false premise. It is based upon employer sanctions and the false assumption that illegal immigration will be stopped simply because those who otherwise would wish to come to this country will not do so if they feel they cannot gain employment here. Mr. President. the evidence is all to the contrary.
