President. I am pleased to add my name as a sponsor of S. 1083. legislation offered by my good friend. the senior Senator from Arizona . This legislation would delay implementation of the employer sanctions provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 for 4 months. Such a delay is essential to assure even a measure of fairness under what is really a bad law. Last year. I declined to support the Immigration Act for several reasons. First. I thought that it was improper for the Federal Government to place employers in a position where they had to enforce the immigration laws of the country. Second. I was concerned that increased discrimination against Hispanics might result from the employer sanctions provision.
