This week I introduced two legislative proposals to address issues which have arisen in connection with the legalization program. The first is a bill. S. 1225. which permits the installment payment of legalization fees charged by the Immigration and Naturalization Service for temporary resident status. The second is a joint resolution (S.J. Res. 131). expressing the sense of Congress that Immigration and Naturalization district directors should exercise their discretion to utilize existing administrative procedures to assure that families are not split apart as a result of legalization. In addition to my proposals. I was glad to learn that the Appropriations Committee accepted Senator DECoNcUms amendment to delay the implementation of the employer sanctions provisions by 4 months.
