Speech #1000043824

The INS has had literally hundreds of sessions around the country about when the sanctions begin and what is required of employers. Changing the effective date would only undermine and make very useless those efforts. Finally. the DeConcini amendment would send exactly the wrong signal. I think. to potential illegal immigrants. It would Imply that Congress did not really intend to stop illegal immigration. something I believe would be a wholly inaccurate interpretation. We did intend to stop illegal. undocumented immigration. hopefully by closing the back door we could increase our compassion and open the front door to legal immigration. That is what we were up to. So I think the employers of America did know what we were doing.
