Let me just suggest to the House. with all respect. that if we shorten and truncate this sunset period to 3 years. we are giving this employer sanctions bill even less opportunity to really work. And let us be honest about it. There is a subtle signal here to the employers who grossly misbehave toward undocumented workers to "keep it up because we are really not serious. Three years isnt going to be enough. so keep on misbehaving. keep on discriminating. and keep on subjugating these people. because we will never be able in 3 years to really get a stern enforcement system in place." So what the gentlewomans amendment is. it is not only a killer amendment. but what it does is aid and abet those who discriminate against the very people we are trying to help in a later section of our bill which is written to give them legal status in this country. So I would just respectfully suggest to my friends in the House that this amendment is a killer amendment.
