Mr. Speaker. despite my belief that employer sanctions would lead to discrimination. I supported the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986. However. my support was contingent on the understanding should the GAO find widespread discrimination. the employer sanctions provisions would be repealed. I believe a great many of my colleagues based their support on this same understanding. I encourage the House to act on this measure quickly. To delay would only continue the injustice which has been suffered by thousands of U.S. citizens and legal residents who wish to work and build a better life. I look forward to working with all my colleagues and interested parties to assure the employer sanctions are repealed.
