I listed some of them at the hearing. but I wanted to take this opportunity to followup in greater detail. and to formally bring these proposals to the attention of the Joint Task Force as it begins its review of the GAO report. First. there are a number of administrative actions that can be taken now. under existing law. if the necessary regulatory actions and funding requirements are met. For example. the GAO found that employers understanding of the 1986 Immigration law actually decreased over the past three years. The obvious response to this is to dramatically increase public education programs beyond those currently sponsored by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the Office of Special Counsel. This would suggest that the Administration should consider utilizing and funding other relevant agencies of government to expand a public education campaignsuch as the Department of Labor and its field offices throughout the country. State employment agencies. the EEOC. among others.
