Mr. Chairman. I want to remind this body. the last time this Congress dealt with discrimination and employers. and it was in the Immigration Act when we instituted employer sanctions. and do Members know what happened when we Instituted employer sanctions? Well. we caused discrimination. The GAO report. as part of the Immigration bill. said that 20 percent of all employers in this country were discriminating. primarily against Hispanics. primarily against Asians or any person that looked foreign. any person that was not. perhaps. blond and blueeyed. So that is the record of this Government in protecting discrimination. Then we went ahead and had the Reagan years. and we deregulated savings and loans. we deregulated banking and airlines. and then we tried to deregulate people with the Supreme Court decisions. setting back the Civil Rights Acts of many years past.
