Speech #980210402

RoYBAL and Mr. GARCIA have an amendment to our bill going even further. which I would gladly support because I think it does move us further in that direction. The Judiciary Committee recognized the special dependence of agriculture on undocumented labor by offering the limited relief of a transitional nonimmigrant agricultural worker program. I support a number of the Judiciary Committee changes in the bill. but also believe we made major mistakes that need to be rectified. I believe the Judiciary Committee substantially weakened employer sanctions by making the requirement to check identification and verify employment eligibility applicable only after an employer receives notification from the Attorney General that there have already been illegal workers at that particular place of employment.
