Obviously. the major weakness in any such system as that is the potential for false claims of citizenship. That Is why I am offering the present amendment. which would create a major new disincentive for falsely claiming U.S. citizenship. Lawful. permanent resident aliens who falsely claim citizenship risk deportation and being permanently barred from entering the United States of America. Since they are authorized to work. 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 was conducted. yet they would also know that if they falsely claimed to be citizens and were caught. they could be deported and permanently barred. Thus. the risk Involved in making false claims would be high for them. too. under such a pilot project if the present amendment were enacted into law. Therefore. if this amendment were enacted. and the pilot project Involving citizenship attestation were conducted. a significant number even of illegal aliens might well be deterred from seeking jobs in the United States. That is the purpose of the amendment.
