In America. this is unacceptable. and this bill aims to rectify those inequities. However. as we seek to protect the legal rights of American workers. we must also protect their rights from being abused by those who work here illegally. The amendment I bring to the floor today serves to ensure that nothing in this legislation or in any amendments to this legislation will affect the obligations of employers and employees to comply with immigration laws. That means that anyone found to be in violation of our immigration laws. whether they are employers or employees. will be subject to all fines and penalties imposed by those laws regardless of the protections for all workers. male or female. contained within this Act. Again. I thank Chairwoman DELAURO as well as Chairman MILLER for this meaningful legislation. and I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill.
