Speech #980043359

This body was given an opportunity to close the door to employment discrimination resulting from employer sanctions. but the Senate defeated the amendment Senator LEVIN and I offered. It is a sad irony that this bill. although it is supposed to protect Americans by alleviating migration pressures. will create a new form of discrimination. In opposing this bill. I want no one in this body to misconstrue my position to mean I advocate open borders. Any reasonable person will admit to the magnitude of current immigration pressures. I want very much to control this flow and see a reasonable and orderly passage across our border. I would hope that those who support this bill will not write off my objections simply as the pursuance of perfection.
