The major weakness in such a system is the potential for false claims of citizenship. That is why I offered the present amendment which will create a new major disincentive for falsely claiming U.S. citizenship. Lawful permanent aliens. or residents who falsely claim citizenship. risk deportation and being permanently barred from entering the United States. Since they are workauthorized. they would have little reason to make a false claim of citizenship. Illegal aliens. on the other hand. would know that they could not be verified if they admitted to being aliens and the verification process were conducted. Yet. they would also know. If they falsely claim to be citizens and were caught and apprehended. they would be deported and permanently barred. Thus. the risk involved in making the false claims would be high for them indeed. If the present amendment were enacted into law. that would be the case. If the amendment were enacted and the project involving citizen attestation were conducted. a significant number even of Illegal aliens may well be deterred from seeking jobs in the United States. That is the basis of the third and final amendment. which I submit this evening.
