Thus. title VII does not adequately protect those persons who may be discriminated against as a result of the employer sanctions established in S. 1200. Second. prospective employees may be discriminated against on the basis of their alienage as a result of the employer sanctions provisions in S. 1200. Because the bill makes it unlawful to knowingly hire illegal aliens. employers may simply refuse to hire persons who are not U.S. citizens. although they are legally in the United States. While the bill establishes an affirmative defense to the charge of unlawfully hiring an illegal alien if the employer verifies that the employee is not an illegal alien. many employers may find it safer and easier to adopt a policy of refusing to hire persons who are nor U.S. citizens. although those persons are legally in the United States. Mr. President. title VII does not prohibit discrimination based on alienage.
