It will help to prevent confusion over documents and alleviate concerns about hiring/not hiring someone who looks like he is illegal. It is in the direct benefit and interest of all employers because it will help to eradicate all of the fears. uncertainties. and arbitrary sanctions that employers have complained about for the past 10 years. At the same time. just as we require legal and illegal aliens to comply with the law. so too must employers. This program will also hold employers accountable for their hiring decisions. By this I mean that unscrupulous employers could no longer get away with knowingly employing illegal aliens because they would have to verify their work eligibility. And. my friends. 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. Reducing the number of allowable documents from 29 to 6 and increasing by 500 the number of INS employment inspectors. which this bill does. is a strong step In the right direction.
