Chairman. I would simply say that this is a very difficult bill. I would not support this direction that we are taking today except for one thing. and that is it is clear to me that the risk of discrimination acclaimed by the opponents of this bill pale against the existing and growing discrimination against Hispanic Americans resulting from unbridled. illegal immigration into this country. That will not stop unless we stop illegal immigration. I only have time to mention two segments of the bill. An amendment will be offered to strike the very limited criminal penalties that are in the bill at the present time.
