Speech #980213488

Mr. Chairman. this is a simple amendment. but I believe it is important. This amendment would fine employers $1.000 if they require employees to post a violation bond. This bond is in effect a deposit required of workers to be held by an employer in case they are fined for hiring undocumented workers. These. as far as we are concerned. are reverse sanctions. In 1971. when President Reagan was the Governor of the State of California. he signed an employer sanctions act. I believe it was called the DixonArnett bill. That does not refer to Mr. DIXON who is presently a Member of this Congress. it is another gentleman.
