State. and Federal taxpayers as additional burdens on social services and educational systems come about when legalization is in effect. For all of these reasons. it seems to me to be quite wrong to pass the legalization provisions of this bill. Without these provisions. the bill will still accomplish the goals of immigration control. In fact. in the earlier efforts to regain control of our borders in 1971 and 1972. bills passed this House incorporating employer sanctions without any mention of legalization or amnesty. The problems are the same todaythey are just worse and there is no reason to add a bad provision to a good bill in the name of getting some imagined consensus to pass a bill. There are those who argue that there will be some mass deportation of illegals and their families if we strike the legalization provisions. That just isnt so. The INS does not have the manpower or the capability of any such massive roundup.
