Mr. Chairman. I too urge defeat of this bill but I do so with mixed emotions. because I do not have anything better to offer. The Speaker of the House had asked me to try to negotiate a compromise that would be acceptable. it did not work. So. I say to my colleagues that recognizing the sentiment in this body. there is immense support for immigration reform. There is support for something to be done. I think what we have done today has many negative features. some positive. Most negative are the employer sanctions. which I believe will discriminate against many foreignlooking people. against Hispanics. against many others.
