It is a dupe. It is a ruse. simply to strike a mortal blow at the system. I have a very hard time because California is so impacted by illegal immigration. For 3 years we have said we must enforce our border. we must improve customs. we must be able to really put a lid on the numbers because the numbers are so large. I have come to the conclusion that within the scope of possible immigration legislation. we are stuck with an existing system. That existing system is employer sanctions. Therefore. why not try to make them work? The already compromised verification systemjust a pilot. which allows the INS to work it out. and bring it back to this body and let us say yea or nay to itis simply a modest attempt to get some meaning into this legislation. Let me say what I honest to God believe is the truth. If we cannot effect sound. just and moderate controls. the people of America will rise to stop all immigration. I am as sure of that as I am that I am standing here now. because where the grievances exist. they exist in large number. Where the fraud exists. it exists in large numbers.
