President. I support the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts which requires Congress to vote on sunsetting employer sanctions in 3 years. if the General Accounting Office finds a widespread pattern of discrimination resulting. A major concern I have had for the past 3 years as the Senate has attempted to enact immigration reform legislation on three separate occasions is discrimination. More precisely. Mr. President. I feel strongly that Congress must be careful to ensure against the prospect that immigration reform be used as a means to discriminate against Hispanics and other minorities. One persistent objection to employer sanctions has been the possibility that they could lead to increased discrimination against Hispanics and Asians. Senator KENNEDYs amendment is a reasonable. modest. well thoughtout approach to this problem.
