I would be opposed to removing the current sanction without imposing another one. And I understand we have got some legislative difficulties. but the gentlemans party controls the agenda. why not bring a bill out that addresses this? Because what we are doing here is. by penalizing the illegal alien. which ought to be done. they are unjustly enriching an unscrupulous employer. indeed in some cases a twice unscrupulous employer. because they are talking now by definition about providing some monetary benefit to an employer who has. one. employed people who are here illegally. maybe knowingly. and. two. violated the labor laws. So I would ask the gentleman. why not at the same time try to substitute some alternative sanction?
