This finding triggered a 30day procedure in which the Congress can repeal that discriminatory law. I have introduced a resolution which would do Just that. Mr. Speaker. the finding that 900.000 employers. nearly 20 percent of the GAO survey. are involved in discriminatory practices is significant and requires the immediate attention of the Congress. As a result of the 1986 Immigration Act. U.S. citizens are unJustly losing Job opportunities simply because of their name. accent. or skin color. I urge my colleagues to give this civil rights crisis the attention it deserves. To do anything else sends a signal to Hispanics.
