How do we correct this? One way is to beef up enforcement. I support a lot of different measures to make the enforcement more certain. to nail it down absolutely before we go into any of these other areas such as a temporary worker program. certainly Z visas. The triggers in this bill are much ballyhooed. but the triggers dont get us to where we need to be before they trigger the Z visa. All the triggers do is say: We are going to do what was planned for the next 18 months anyway. which isnt all of what we need to do. which isnt half of what we need to do to secure the border and have real workplace enforcement. But then we are going to trigger the amnesty. We are going to trigger the Z visa. That is not enough. We need to beef up those enforcement provisions. The other way to fix going down the 1986 road again is to get rid of amnesty. to get rid of the Z visa. That is exactly what this amendment does. Certainly many of my colleagues will protest wildly about calling this amnesty.
