I would suggest that one of the possibilities of discrimination that may exist in this bill. if it does at all exist there. is the fact that we do not have application of the paperwork burden with respect to all employees above a certain size because. under the bill as it is now written. the Attorney General has to first make a finding that there has been someone working there illegally. and only then does the paperwork burden extend. So in the amendment I will offer after this. we will extend it to the total area. This amendment. instead of doing it in that direction. says it is still voluntary until there is a finding made. but if. in fact. you have voluntarily decided not to keep the paperwork and it turns out that you have an illegal alien. an undocumented worker. in your employ. it is presumed that you knowingly hired that person who was illegal. and that shifts the burden. I think that is an overcompensation for a shortcoming in the bill as it is before us. It goes far too far in being onerous on the employer without even touching the question that the gentleman mentioned that is the intent of the bill.
