I dont know that any Member of the House would or could. It is simply a restatement of current law. I strongly believe that every employer and every worker should comply with our Nations immigration laws. Indeed. I have long argued that our immigration laws need to be strengthened. that we need to get serious about reasserting control of our borders. enforcing the laws that are on the books and enhancing those laws which are failing if we truly want to secure our borders. No one is as committed to those goals as I am. That said. that is a debate for another day. and not the issue presented to us in this bill. We are not debating the question of immigration reform. but rather. whether we should adopt a trial lawyer bonanza under the guise of "paycheck fairness." As I have said before. this bill does nothing to promote fairness in pay. and everything to invite costly. and often frivolous. litigation. Whether the gentlemans amendment is adopted today or not. that fact will not change. This is an illconceived bill. based on flawed and demonstrably false economic theories. and sure to lead to unintended consequences for workers and employers.
