Speech #980213810

Mr. Chairman. let me make just one simple point. It seems that the proponents of the bill and the opponents of this amendment are saying that sanctions are now sanctified because of the Frank amendment that "has eliminated discrimination." But why are people discriminated against? Why will they be discriminated against under this mechanism? In the context of the immigration issue. it is the fear of sanctions. that the employer will reject an individual and discriminate against that individual. and that threat is not removed. Now. I appreciate the acceptance of the Frank amendment by this body. My committee drafted the amendment and we assert that it is a good amendment.
