Speech #990082306

I am legal: I am eligible to work for you in the United States. That is what the Congress intended in the 1983 legislation. Not a card to be authenticated solely by Immigration and Naturalization Service technicians. but a card to be sizedup by employers with relative ease and certainty. Lets try again. Lets at least approve a study by the General accounting Office. in consultation with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and experts from business. of the technological alternatives now available to produce a more tamperresistant Social Security card. The study will tell us how we can produce a card that will help protect the integrity of the Social Security System. help the Naturalization and Immigration Service in its efforts to identify those living here illegally. and help the young Hispanic worker in his and her efforts to earn the living. and the dignity. to which every hardworking legal resident of this country is entitled.
