So what we have. when this bill passes and plays out in 5 years. are no employer sanctions left but millions of people who are on the road to citizenship and will be eligible for public assistance and free public education because they are here under color of law. Now. that is going to be very costly not only to Federal Government taxpayers but also to State and local government taxpayers. and we really have not solved the problem once the employer sanctions disappear. So contrast the bill that is before us with the original Hesburgh provision recommendations. the employer sanctions have been weakened and sunsetted. but the amnesty has become more generous by turning the twotier amnesty into a onetier amnesty and then adding the two additonal classes of illegal aliens that would be amnestied in under the MoakleyDeConcini provisions as well as under the Schumer agricultural labor provisions. Honestly speaking. I think that we would far better serve the public by going back to the very beginning. by dealing with the bill that controls our borders and deals with legal as well as illegal immigration. rather than having this bill turned into an agricultural labor bill which is the way it has evolved in the last 21/2 to 3 years. I think that the bill is not going to close off our borders to illegal aliens. It is a very expensive ticking timebomb which will increase the hostility toward aliens among many parts of the public. which I believe would be unfortunate.
