Mr. President. it has been 1 year since the 99th Congress passed and the President signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act. We all recognized then that the final bill represented a compromise and a balance between employer sanctions and a fair legalization program. Many thousands of previously undocumented immigrants have been helped or will be helped by this new law. But many are jeopardized by it as well. We in Congress intended that the legalization program be a generous onebringing out from the shadows and into the protection of our laws and our society as many eligible individuals as possible.
