Chairman RODINo has one. I have one. subcommittee Chairman MAZZOLI has none. The attacks on this bill come from special interestsnot from those with jurisdiction over the subject matter of immigration. Last year. I had the opportunity to participate in the seminar on undocumented aliens sponsored by the Intergovernmental Committee for Migration. an international organization with many participating countries. ICM Director James L. Carlin pointed out that "[i]rregular migration (a term for illegal migration) tends to inspire negative attitudes toward normal migration." W.R. Bohning of the International Labour Office. in an expert paper. said that a "major reason for irregularity can be porous or incompatible laws and regulations." He described the legal situation in the United States as "selfcontradictory." noting that "it is not illegal to employ foreigners who are in an irregular situation." The presentations underscored for me that the Immigration Reform and Control Act appropriately makes employer sanctions the centerpiece of immigration law enforcement. At the end of the seminar. the many participating countries debated and adopted a series of conclusions and recommendations. These statements remarkably reflected a unanimous view.
