In the name of protecting our borders. this bill would impose serious burdens on lawabiding American citizens. and it would move America away from its extremely valuable centuriesold tradition of openness to new people and new ideas. Let me now go through the bill and lay out some of the particular concerns I have about the bill as it is currently before us today. First. let me start with the very contentious issue of verificationthe verification of employment. To begin with. the bill would create a massive timeconsuming and errorprone bureaucracy. As originally written. the bill called for a process under which every employer would have to contact the Immigration and Naturalization Service and Social Security Administration to verify the citizenship of every prospective employee. My colleague from Ohio. Congressman STEVE CHABOT. called this 1800BIGBROTHER.
