Mr. Speaker. it seems that the congressional conferees are trying to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the SimpsonMazzoli immigration bills to no avail. This certainly is not the first time that these bills have met resistance. There have been stumbling blocks all along because of proposals such as employer sanctions and amnesty for illegal aliens. These provisions encourage incentives to discriminate against Hispanics and would create a new underground industry for forged. stolen. and fraudulent documents. In addition it penalizes those who have waited patiently to follow current U.S. laws to enter the country legally. To further explain a few of these problems.
