Yet that very same sort of affidavit could be rendered confidential and could not be shared with law enforcement personnel. unless my amendment is passed. We already know from welldocumented prosecutions of document vendors and other legalization cases that the type of documents submittedespecially sworn affidavits from third parties. not even relativesno qualification. just third partieshave been used routinely to further fraud. At the very least. we should not repeat the mistakes of 1986 by allowing the continued use of sworn affidavits by applicants to establish eligibility for the Z visa. My amendment takes care of these concerns. We know one thing: Criminals and terrorists have abusedand will continue to seek ways to abuseour immigration system in order to enter and remain in this country. I regret this bill we are debating fails to give law enforcement the commonsense tools they need in order to prevent terrorists and others from exploiting the vulnerabilities inherent in any massive legalization. My Colleagues may tell you there is a confidentiality exception for national security and for fraud.
