Speech #980211455

May I. in support of my statement. read a statement that was entered into the record of the Subcommittee on Employment Opportunity on this issue from the Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies. They say. "We strongly believe that a recently adopted amendment to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1983 violates the intent and changes the WagnerPeyser Act itself as discussed above. This amendment would extensively involve the Employment Service in a complex and costly system of verifying the employment eligibility of at least all individuals." not just agricultural workers. but every individual that goes to the Employment Service. would go through the same processes and they would have to verify every individual.
