Chairman. this really is an overkill amendment. I think that the increases that are contained in the underlying bill will be sufficient to act as a deterrent. I think we all know as far as the border security situation is concerned. we have to put more efforts on the border to prevent illegal aliens from coming across. We also have to turn off the magnet of employment of illegal aliens in the United States. The employer verification system turns off the magnet. The increase in the fines for not using the employer verification system or hiring illegal aliens are sufficient to act as a deterrent. I can tell you that our courts are going to be tied up horrendously because everybody who gets a citation for violating the law under Mr. GONZALEZS amendment is going to ask for a trial by jury. and I doubt we will ever be able to get very much of the money that he thinks we are going to collect.
