Mr. President. are the reasons for which I must strongly oppose the employer sanctions provisions included in S. 1200. I do not mean. however. to detract from the untiring and courageous efforts of the Senator from Wyoming where he has made a good faith effort to pass needed immigration reform. I commend Senator SIMPSON for his hard work to improve the Nations immigration policy. and I look forward to working with him to make sure all issues are addressed fairly in this legislation. We must ensure. however. that U.S. immigration laws do not encourage discrimination against particular ethnic groups. that the Federal Government carries out its responsibility to enforce these laws. and that we do not hamper economic activity and growth by creating onerous burdens on employers through recordkeeping and verification requirements. I know what will happen with many small businesses. Simply. in my opinion.
