I was here in the Congress in 1986. 1 heard all the promises of the SimpsonMazzoli Act. None of them were true. and 3 million people got amnesty. There was no border security to speak of. no employer sanctions to speak of. and there was no enforcement. Now. all these years later. we have 12 million people in this country without legal authorization. What do we do? We bring a new bill to the floor with border security. with employer sanctions. and a guest worker provision. Nirvana. The fact is. it is not going to work. regrettably. and this is the worst possible provision in this bill. in my judgment.
