I hate to rain on the parade of those who have joined together in supporting this amendment. but I feel that it is incumbent upon me to say that all of the objections I had to the Hawkins amendment apply equally well to the Frank amendment since all of my comments were directed to the antidiscrimination portion of the Hawkins amendment. which is identical in all respects with the Frank amendment. The problem I see is that I am afraid not enough attention was given to the effect of this when it was drafted. The amendment says that any "person or other entity" who fails to hire someone based upon national origin or alienage would be guilty of discrimination and you could proceed against them before the Immigration Board. There is no definition either in this amendment or in the bill of the Committee on the Judiciary or in existing law as to who a "person or other entity" is. That is about as broad as it can be.
