Clearly. the work force will be affected. With job opportunities already limited for many Americans. a labor pool of aliens will be a source of competition for our citizens. a competition they cannot hope to win in many circumstances. We must demonstrate that we are determined to enforce our immigration laws or we cannot hope to discourage illegal aliens. And we must discourage them from coming to our borders in the first place if we are to come to terms with this problem. Granting amnesty to millions who can document that they have been in this country continuously since January 1. 1982. is not the way to do it.*
