Senate Republicans warned yesterday that the immigration bill approved by the Senate last month won't stop companies from hiring illegal aliens -- the very magnet that has drawn some 12 million illegals to the United States.
"Less than one hour of floor time was devoted to this subject during the debates on the Senate floor," said Sen. John Cornyn, the Texas Republican who called a subcommittee hearing on the topic yesterday. "Now, this concerns me because not only do I see work-site enforcement as the critical means, or linchpin, really, of successful immigration reform, but also because the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has told me that several provisions in the Senate bill would make the system unworkable."
