And despite the laudable purpose behind this bill. there are those in this Nation who would use this measure as a pretext to deny employment to U.S. citizens and aliens lawfully residing here and by right. simply because they look or sound foreign. If there is one thing I believe my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will agree. it is that this country and this Congress should do everything possible to insure that citizens and lawful residents are not subjected to employment discrimination because of their national origin. The amendment that I am offering today is designed to insure that the immigration measure now before the House will not be used as a pretext to deny employment. Specifically. my amendment would modify H.R. 1510 in three important ways: First. it creates a quasijudicial administrative enforcement mechanism for the enforcement of sanctions. May I say that in this regard we follow a definite model.
