The basic premise of that legislation was very simple. The premise was this: The attraction for people to come to this country illegally is to find a job and to earn money. If you shut off that attraction. shut off that job. you at least substantially diminish illegal immigration coming into this country. And so the legislation was passed. I went back recently and read all the debate about SimpsonMazzoli. The legislation was passed. and it was going to shut off the jobs. In fact. how was that going to happen? It was going to happen because there were going to be employer sanctions. saying to Americas employers: If you hire illegal aliens. if you hire illegal immigrants to come into this country to take a job. you are going to be in some trouble. You cant hire people who are here illegally to work in your plants. to work in your businesses. Those then were the approaches that were going to be used to shut down this illegal immigration. What happened? Let me give an example.
