I hope I have made my point that ICE is in a position to enforce. They are hands-on with the employers in the work site, and that is where the utilization of Basic Pilot takes place. I believe it is incumbent upon this Congress to encourage that ICE incorporates the promotion and education of this as part of the work that they do as they interrelate with the employers. Not just go in and raid and lock people up and haul them off, but to help work so employers can have confidence. If we leave this strictly within USCIS, they are not out into the employer workforce. They don't have that access to employers in the fashion that ICE does.
