Perhaps correctly. the bill explicitly states that it does not authorize creation of a national identification card. But in doing so it replaces the invasion of everyones privacy with pervasive and invidious discrimination against substantial minority population:.. While the employer sanctions provisions are purportedly designed to reduce the flow of immigration. the socalled Szhumer agricultural worker section directly undercuts that goal through its replenishment program. That giant concession to farming interests invites additional aliens to this countri/ with the promise of legalization. so long as they are willing to be indentured to agriculture. The risk of exploitation in such a program is endemic. Whatever else it may be. such a program is not immigration reform. I support some provision. of H.R. 3810 independently. such as those granting extended voluntary departure status to Salvadorans and Nicaraguans. However.
