The amendment requires the INS to conduct the three projects. and these projects are listed as optional pilots In the bill. The amendment simply requires the INS to test these three projects. If any of these work. it will mark a major improvement in denying jobs to illegal immigrants. Once again. this is where the focus ought to be on the issue of the job magnet. the fact that jobs are what bring people here to the United States illegally. As we know. those individuals who are the illegals basically are lowskill or noskill workers. and they are the ones which add the least. obviously. to the economy and still are involved in displacing other Americans and driving wages down. So if we are able to address the issues of the job magnetand this legislation attempts to do that in a variety of ways. which have been spelled out earlier in the course of the debate. both from trying to address the issues of the fraud documents and trying to strengthen the Border Patrol. trying to develop these other kinds of proposals to limit theand make it less likely that illegals will enter the job market. I think we are on the road to trying to take meaningful steps to deal with the problems of illegal immigrants coming to this country and still ensure the protections for American workers that may speak with a foreign language or may have a different appearance. I do not know of any opposition to this amendment. Members have known about it for some period of time.
