Mr. President. this amendment would add a new section to the bill. The section would create a new ground of exclusion of deportation for falsely representing oneself as a U.S. citizen. This amendment is a complement to another that I will be proposing. The other amendment would modify the bill section which applies and provides for pilot project systems to verify work authorization and eligibility to apply for public assistance. One of the requirements of that other amendment is that the Attorney General conduct certain specific pilot projects. including one under which employers would be required to verify the immigration status of aliens. but not persons claiming to be citizens. Such citizens would be required only to attest as being citizens. That was discussed in committee.
