Third. this legislation would protect the Social Security program by preventing wages earned through future unauthorized work from being used to determine benefits. Also the bill would protect the Social Security Administrations primary mission and trust funds by authorizing employment verification only through funds appropriated in advance. So far. efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation have failed. Today we offer a new way forward for this Congress to discourage unauthorized workers from entering this country illegally to seek work. Ensuring a legal workforce must be a key component of any immigration bill moving through Congress. I look forward to working with my colleagues to build on this proposal to achieve a bipartisan solution to immigration reform.
