It would have the teachers going around and reviewing documents for each and every child to try and identify and then take those children out. separate them out. It seems to me that we ought to understand the broader policy issue. The real problem in dealing with illegal immigration. as the Hesburgh commission found out 15 years ago and as the Jordan commission has restated. the jobs are the magnet that brings foreigners into our country illegally. Jobs is the magnet. The real problem is. how are we going to deal with that? Senator SIMPSON has. to his credit. worked out an orderly kind of process by which we are going to reduce the number of breeder documents and we are going back to the root causes for those breeder documents. and then we are going to test various kinds of programs in terms of what can be most effective in verifying that it is Americans who are getting jobs and not the Illegals. We are going to have votes on those particular measures. But I am going to stand with the Senator from Wyoming on those measures because they are a key element if we are serious about dealing with illegal immigration. Then there are provisions dealing with the border and Border Patrol and enhanced procedures. All of those. we believe. can be effective in terms of dealing with the job magnet that draws people here. Our problem is not with the children.
