Mr. Chairman. my amendment would. very simply. prohibit government contracts In various water projects in terms of the Water Quality Investment Act from being provided to contractors who are hiring illegal immigrants. Among the many infrastructure treasures this Nation must guard. of course. is our water supply. And we want to ensure. if we are going to expend billions of dollars. taxpayer dollars. in improvements. that everyone the Federal Government is responsible for paying to work on these projects has a right to work here. My amendment simply says that any recipient of a government grant or contract under this bill must use Social Securitys basic pilot verification system to ensure that all employees are in this country legally.
