,,iv  #aacth ,,congress  #ast ,session  
,h4 ,,res4 #cbf  ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of
 ,,representatives  ,august #b1 #bjac   
,mr4 ,broun of ,georgia submitted the   
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on the ,judiciary    
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,house of ,representatives that any 
immigration reform proposal adopted by  
,congress should not legalize1 grant    
amnesty for1 or confer any other legal  
status condoning the otherwise unlawful 
entry or presence in the ,united ,states
 of any individual4  ,whereas on        
,november #f1 #aihf1 the ,immigration   
,reform and ,control ,act 7,,irca7 of   
#aihf was signed into law2 ,whereas     
between #aihg and #aihh1 nearly         
#b1gjj1jjj illegal immigrants received  
legal status under the #aihf ,,irca     
amnesty before being granted lawful     
permanent residence by #aiib2 ,whereas  
,,irca was touted by its sponsors as the
 three-legged stool approach to         
immigration reform incorporating        

improved border security and employment 
enforcement1 a ,h-#b;,a temporary worker
 program1 and legal status for certain  
eligible groups2 ,whereas ,,irca        
contained provisions to inhibit future  
illegal immigration by penalizing       
employers who knowingly hire an         
unauthorized immigrant2 ,whereas despite
 these penalties1 a policy brief by the 
,migration ,policy ,institute dated     
,august #bjje showed that over #ij      
percent of unauthorized males in the    
,united ,states were employed2 ,whereas 
,,irca included language to increase    
,border ,personnel by #ej percent2      
,whereas then-,immigration and          
,naturalization ,service 7,,ins7        
,commissioner ,alan ,c4 ,nelson         
announced the law's initial success in a
 #aihi ,house ,judiciary ,committee     
hearing1 citing the shrinking number of 
apprehensions at the border1 as signal  
to demonstrate that the law is working  
and employer sanctions are having the   
intended effect of reducing illegal     

immigration2 ,whereas illegal           
immigration actually increased in volume
 and frequency by #aihi1 with #a1gjj1jjj
 to #b1ejj1jjj unauthorized immigrants  
crossing into the ,united ,states from  
,mexico that year2 ,whereas the number  
of illegal aliens grew to #c1djj1jjj by 
the early #aiijs1 and by #aiig the      
approximate unauthorized population     
totaled more than #e1jjj1jjj1 the same  
number of illegal immigrants as before  
the #aihf law took effect2 and ,whereas 
an estimated #aa1ejj1jjj million illegal
 aliens currently reside in the ,united 
,states3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that  
it is the sense of the ,house of        
,representatives that any immigration   
reform proposal adopted by ,congress    
should not legalize1 grant amnesty for1 
or confer any other legal status        
condoning the otherwise unlawful entry  
or presence in the ,united ,states of   
any individual4
