Opponents of the search warrant amendment have been unable to show that it will hinder legitimate enforcement activities. Several studies. including a recent one conducted by the National Center for State Courts. have shown that obtaining search warrants is not a deterrent to effective law enforcement. The INS is busy outside the Chamber trying to buttonhole Members to insist that this amendment is going to curtail their ability to apprehend illegal aliens. The requirement of a search warrant does not hamper their efforts in all other business. The INS does not want to give proper Constitutional rights either to owners or to the potential undocumented aliens in agriculture. I have to conclude that they have accepted. perhaps unwillingly. the constitutional requirement to obtaining a search warrant whenever entering or desiring to enter any other businesses for the purpose of inspecting to see if illegal aliens are present. Mr. President.
