Speech #980213813

I am not sure whether or not the employer sanctions will actually work. I am not sure whether they will indeed remove the economic incentive for aliens to enter this country illegally. But I am sure of one thing: If we pass this amendment and eliminate the employer sanctions. it surely wont work. The economic incentives will still be there and the flow of illegal aliens will continue. However. we will have incurred the costs of the legalization programwe will have paid the costs inherent in this bill and gotten none of the benefits. For that reason I urge strongly the defeat of this amendment.
