President. we must control our borders. but this is not the way. Hundreds of thousands of employers. fearing sanctions. are refusing to hire Hispanics. Asians. and other minorities for employment because they look foreign or sound foreign. No less insidious is the practice of requiring work authorization documents from only those persons who are perceived to be foreign. In any view. the human indignity and economic hardship that are tle direct results of this socalled deterrent to illegal immigration are simply too great a price to pay. The cost in terms of damage to our fundamental constitutional and moral commitment to freedom from bigotry and discrimination is unconscionable. Mr.
