I would be. too. because they have benefited from the low wages. and the low wages that these corporations have benefited from have depressed the wages of honest. hardworking. middleincome American people and those who are trying to get these entrylevel jobs who are authorized to work in this country. The key in this bill is Mr. CALVERTS employer verification system because that will flush out those who hire large numbers of illegal aliens. and they can go into the marketplace and pay a decent wage to people who are legally entitled to work here. I think that this is the main reason why this bill should pass. We have heard a litany of complaints about all of the enforcement provisions. fences on the border. making a criminal offense overstaying ones visa. giving the sheriffs in border counties the authority to enforce the immigration law which they dont have now. The fact is that those people who are against this bill dont want any changes in the existing system except perhaps amnesty or. excuse me. earned legalization and ultimately citizenship for those who have broken the law. This bill has our priorities straight.
