I realize that we cannot legislate attitudes. but we should not institutionalize potential civil rights abuses. Thats what we are doing with employer sanctions. In addition. minority unemployment rate is always significantly higher than that of the majority community. Minorities dont need another obstacle in the waysanctionsfrom seeking employment. There is something terribly hypocritical about this legislation. On the one hand. there are complaints about how America has lost control of its borders. about how millions of undocumented persons are taking American jobs. On the other hand. the Panetta amendment would reinstitute the bracero program. Organized labor has withdrawn its support for the bill in large part because of this amendment.
