economically deprived nations to parts of agriculture. Finally, the law contained the em­ ployer sanction provisions which were designed to dry up the available jobs for undocumented people in the United States, in an effort to force the estimated 3 Yz million people not included in the amnesty to leave and to discourage others from coming. Taken together, these provisions of the 1986 law were established as a legal structure to protect the privilege of the United States through systematic exclu­ sion of "undesirable" immigrants while assuring a supply of cheap labor to parts of the U.S. economy that have not been able to attract domestic labor because of low salaries and poor working conditions. Although the AFSC had opposed numerous features of the bill while it was in Congress, it was the employer sanctions provisions that posed a direct challenge of conscience to the organiza­ tion when its implementing provisions were made public in mid-1987. Those provisions place several requirements on all employers:

• to inspect documents of all employees hired since November 1986 in order to establish their identity and legal authorization to work, • to determine that the documents ap­ pear valid, and • to sign (along with the employee) an 1-9 form indicating they have done so and are satisifed, and to hold the signed forms on file for INS inspec­ tion on demand.

18 February 1989 FRIENDS JOURNAL February Catalogues The February catalogues have come, weighted with huge, unscented roses, improbable as dream imaginings. No aphids nibble the leaves or strip their hearts. These sprawl in splendid lavishness on summer arbors, or grey-stone garden walls, with dew drops, like rare jewels, at their hearts.

Brisk house-cleaning winds of March scour tattered leaves away, and bare the gnarled and stubborn roots of self-willed roses my real garden knows.

Showing their support for New Zealand's antinuclear stance, 26 Quakers from the United States traveled to Wellington to meet New Zealand officials and Friends in that country last summer. Sally Rickerman, who organized the tour, presented a peace ban­ ner to Fran Wilde, associate foreign minister of New Zealand. In addition to supporting New Zealand's antinuclear policy, the group was responding to the courageous and elec­ trifying statement made in January 1987 by New Zealand Yearly Meeting ("Rejecting the Quakerese-We've all heard the term.
