I now have two employer identification documents to establish an eligibility to work in the United States and also to be able to be eligible for public programs. Mr. President. with all that we are doing in terms of tamperproof programs. and all that we are doing in terms of setting up additional agencies and investigators and protections for American workers. and all of the resources that we are providing down at the border. when you recognize that half of the people that will be coming in and will be illegals came here legally. and they will have an opportunity to take advantage of these kinds of gaping holes in our system. then the rest of the billwith all due respect. we can put hundreds of thousands of guards down on the border. but if they are able to come in. as half of them do. on various visas and be able to run through that process that anybody can achieve in a day or day and a half and circumvent all of that. then I must say. Mr. President. we are not really being serious about this issue.
