It says that after 3 years the employer sanctions provisions terminate. It does this so that Congress can examine the employers sanction experiment and see: If it did indeed encourage discrimination as the congressional Hispanic Caucus suspects It will. If it did place a burden on small businessmen to enforce our immigration laws. If it did effectively reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the country. Employers sanctions will result in sweeping changes not only in our immigration laws but also in our employment system. We know that once we enact an omnibus immigration bill. we wont be dealing with immigration for a long time. even if there are some grievous wrongs created by this bill. My amendment guarantees that we look at the effects of employers sanctions. It is a protection against the potential abuses of sanctions.
