The total value of these losses is estimated to be $2.4 million. Losses are expected to be even greater this year. The act has not even accomplished its main purpose of halting the flow of illegal aliens across our borders. Even if the employer sanctions had halted illegal immigration into the United States. the cost in terms of increased discrimination against American citizens and legal residents would still have been unacceptable. Frankly. Mr. President. the employer sanctions provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 have been a failure. They have led to increased discrimination against Americans of Hispanic descent and other minorities and have imposed an incredible burden on American business. particularly agricultural enterprises. The Congress ought to own up to the fact that the employer sanctions provisions were a mistake and repeal them.
