Chairman. I think we have reached that crucial point in this debate. We have got to determine whether or not we are going to have a fair and balanced Immigration Reform and Control Act. I would like to point out a little history. Legalization is not a concept of those of us who would just willynilly open the floodgates to people who have violated the law. Let me go back a little bit. A number of years ago. when I first conceived the idea of employer sanctions. I did so with one purpose and one thought in mind. and that was because I saw undocumented workers being brought into the country. being used by employers who had contracted for them and being misused and exploited by them. We found that their numbers grew and grew because. while the Immigration Service did attempt to prevent their entry or ferret them out after entry. nonetheless they were never able to do so effectively. These individuals were coming across the border seeking a job opportunity because they wanted to live a decent life. As a result.
