But because employer cooperation is so vitally important for this law to work. this Congress cannot accept the idea that the INS will impose sanctions on employers before all aspects of the law have fallen into place. including verification. If an employer has received the Government verification forms. this should give the INS the authority to enforce sanctions upon him. Too much work needs yet to be done. Mr. Speaker. Its often said that ignorance of the law is no excuse. In the case of the Immigration Reform and Control Act. ignorance of the law is almost unavoidable. I urge the INS to continue their public education process. and to forebear on implementation of sanctions until the September 1 date has passed.
