On the recordMay 1, 1996
the Clinton administration, as my distinguished colleague just said, opposes the creation of an office for the enforcement of employer sanctions. The Congress should be about cutting the Federal bureaucracy, not adding to it. This bill throws another $100 million of employer sanctions enforcement on top of the $43 million spent in the current year on worksite enforcement. Sanctions have not worked. They are a burden on business, especially small business. They cause discrimination against those who look and sound foreign. The Judiciary Committee struck the office from the bill. Frankly, I urge the rejection of the Bradley amendment for those reasons.
