“the American people need to support this amendment. We need to support it. It is shameful that we would bend to the special interests and not vote for the Gallegly amendment. I fully support it. Mr. Chairman, the American people elected a Republican majority in 1994 to end politics as usual and accomplish real reform. Without the Gallegly mandatory verification amendment, this bill is another example of do-nothing, special-interest business as usual in Washington. Illegal immigrants come here for jobs. If we are serious about stopping illegal immigration, we need to make it impossible for illegal aliens to get jobs. Only a mandatory system in States most affected by illegal immigration would achieve that. Not enough employers would verify their employees' eligibility without one. Stand up to the special interests. Vote for the Gallegly mandatory verification amendment.”
