I come to something thats very important. Its about the inevitable consequences of legislation that has as its foundation a false concept. I am reminded of the biblical assertion that a bad tree produces bad fruit. The basis. the foundation. raison detre of the SimpsonMay bill is employer sanctions. placing the responsibility for resolving the illegal alien problem on the shoulders of the American employer. rather than on the Federal Government where it belongs. Its a bad tree that can only produce bad fruit. Just last night. this House adopted a mandatory employee verification system. a massive computerized system costing up to $2 billion.
