He pointed out they were not effective because they were never put into effect precisely because there was court challenge. Let us be very clear what this amendment does. it throws out employer sanctions. at the same time supposedly improving enforcement of labor condition laws. That is not what the AFILCIO asked for in their testimony before our subcommittee when Tom Donohue. testifying on behalf of the AFLCIO said: A legislative prohibition on the employment of undocumented workers backed by substantial and workable sanctions to deter employers from violating that prohibition is the single most important deterrent to illegal immigration. Althea Simmons. testifying before our committee for the NAACP. expressed support for employer sanctions and noted "The continued influx of undocumented workers has a disparate impact on blacks." So if you want to remove that sanction which the AFLCIO testified continually before our subcommittee and the subcommittee on the Senate side. is the most important thing in terms of stemming the tide of illegal immigration as it impacts on jobs of Americans. then vote for this amendment. Regrettably because of the way this amendment is drawn you cannot get to the point that the gentleman from California makes. which is improvement of labor condition enforcement without knocking out employer sanctions at the same time. I did not write the amendment.
