Session #98 · 1983–85

Speech #980213806

Mr. Chairman. my statement in the general debate expresses my sentiments on this issue. but basically what the gentleman is trying to do is place the enforcement of the law in the existing agencies and not on prospective employers and an onerous unconstitutional burden on prospective employees. whether they be citizens or not. I think that this is a proper way. it is indeed reform in the immigration process. not novel. but the fact is that present laws are not being enforced. This is a way to enforce them and not place an undue onerous burden on legal residents or citizens and place the enforcement of the law where it belongs. with the enforcement agencies. I thank the gentleman for yielding and I ask an "aye" vote on this amendment.
