Enacted in 1986. this section preempts State and local governments from applying the employer sanctions provisions of the INA. The language of Section 708 included in the managers amendment adds an additional preemption paragraph that preempts any State or local law that requires a private business to build and maintain what is essentially a hiring hall as the price of doing business in that city. I understand and empathize with the State and local governments as they grapple with illegal immigration. but immigration is a national problem that must be addressed by Congress. Piecemeal and patchwork local ordinances only add to the confusion surrounding this issue. I thank the Chairmen for working with me to resolve this issue.
