Speech #980045538

Mr. President. last week I cast my vote in opposition to final passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act. S. 529. I did so recognizing the great complexity of this problem. and with great respect for the time and effort spent by so many concerned persons to attempt to find a constructive and balanced solution. I voted against this measure because. in the final analysis. I believe that this bill did not meet the fundamental tests of fairness and effectiveness. In my view the most troubling section of the bill is its reliance on employer sanctions as a means of enforcing the law.
