Of great concern to me. in particular. are the revisions in S. 1200 that rely on employer sanctions as a means of enforcing the law. This is of critical concern to New Mexico. where 36.6 percent of the residents are of Hispanic origin. They are loyal U.S. citizens who share the ethnicity of many present undocumented workers. In July several of my colleagues and I wrote to Senator SIMPSON requesting a hearing to explore the possible effect employer sanctions could have on those who "look foreign." I am pleased to say that he agreed to a joint SenateHouse hearing on employer sanctions and discrimination for September 18. Such notables as former Civil Rights Commission Chairman Arthur Flemming.
Identified stereotypes
People who look foreign are assumed to be undocumented workers.
