The current law is inconsistent and indefensible. It is unlawful for someone who is here illegally to work. but it is not unlawful for an employer to hire someone whom he knows is here illegally for work. Perhaps most importantly the largescale illegal immigration of people into the United States has led to the development and rapid growth in this country of a subculture. of a second class of persons who are without rights or protection under our laws. and are preyed upon by landlords. employers. and criminals. Finally. it is unfair to those who are waiting patiently to come into this country legally. for us to continue to turn our backs on the huge number of persons who are pouring over our borders illegally. Let us pass this rule and get on with the business of confronting in a serious and determined way this most serious and pressing domestic issue.
