We can have all kinds of debates. guest worker. no guest worker. birthright citizenship. no birthright citizenship. fence. no fence. These are legitimate arguments to have. But a bill that the Speaker of the House. the chairman of the Rules Committee and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee know cannot solve the crisis of illegal immigration. they know from the start. that they bring up and ask this body to pass in order to tell the American people they are doing something about a problem they know cannot be solved by the bill they are presenting is insulting the intelligence and trying to con the American people. This rule should be rejected for that reason. In this bill is an employereligibility system which is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to dealing with illegal immigration. How are you ever going to impose effectively an employerverification system where every person who is hired and every person who is now working has to be verified by the Social Security Administration when you have 11 million people in this country. almost all of whom are working except for the children. almost all of whom are working in undocumented fashion for an employer. the heart of the perishable fruit and vegetable industry. the heart of a number of other industries in this country. and expect that system to pass. This is a con. There are only two things going on.
