The purpose of the program is to make it easier for employers to verify the work eligibility of prospective employees. It will help to prevent confusion over documents. alleviate concerns about hiring someone who looks like he is illegal. and hold employers accountable for their hiring decisions. Without such a mandatory system. unscrupulous employers will continue to knowingly employ illegal aliens. And this is the end to the means for the 400.000 illegal aliens who enter our country every year. As long as the jobs are there. and someone is willing to hire them to do the work. they will always keep coming. I deeply regret and am grieved to say that the business community is seeking low paid workers and feeding the immigration crisis. I implore the business communitymake this good faith effort with us. Be part of the solution. not part of the problem. Finally. because current law prevents us from denying one particular costly service to illegal aliens. public education. I will be supporting Congressman GALLEGLYS amendment giving States the option to deny public education to the children of illegal aliens. In 1982. the Supreme Court ruled that under the 14th amendment the children of illegal aliens cannot be denied a public elementary and secondary education. However. last November a Federal district judge in California ruled against Proposition 187 saying that only the Federal Government has the authority to regulate immigration. Congressman GALLEGLYS amendment is consistent with this most recent ruling. Through congressional action. each State can decide whether or not it wants to divert resources away from educating the children of its hardworking taxpayers.
