Speech #980210728

Another statutory right of action for either domestic or foreign workers is not needed. should not be created. and is redundant. As to the discriminatory aspects of this legislation which Mr. HAwKINs amendment. accepted by the committee. seeks to address. I can appreciate his concern. but oppose his means. The committee amendment. in effect. authorizes the Immigration Board to determine whether an applicant was discriminated against on the basis of alienage or national origin. National origin discrimination is already outlawed by title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII. however. already contains sufficient protection of applicants to allay the concern that employers would refuse to hire applicants who appear to be foreign.
