Chairman. I rise to oppose the Chabot amendment. I would just like to make the observation to anybody who is paying attention to this debate. any of our colleagues. that if you oppose illegal immigration. you must oppose the Chabot amendment. There is no way to control illegal immigration unless we can cut the magnet of jobs and stop the incentive of people coming here. and that means making employer sanctions work. making the law we have and have had for 10 years on the books that says it is Illogal to knowingly hire an illegal. make it work. I can put every person in the United States military across our Southwest border. I can seal it with a wall. and I cannot stop the people who are going to come here illegally. because they are going to come for jobs one way or another. Over half who are here illegally today. and there are four million present and 300.000 to 500.000 a year coming here to stay here permanently. are here because they have come on legal visas and overstayed. And the incentive for all of this is to get a Job. Employer sanctions is not working.
