• Once you're labeled a felon, the old forms of discrimination - employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, denial of educational opportunity, denial of food stamps and other public benefits, and exclusion from jury service - are suddenly legal. As a criminal, you have scarcely more rights, and largely less respect, than a black man living in Alabama at the height of Jim Crow. We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.

• Women need the education and training, particularly since more and more women are heads of their households, as much or more than anybody else...And it's hard for them to leave their families when they don't have somebody to take care of them....It's a vicious cycle that's affecting women, particularly in a part of the country like this, where mining is the mainstay; traditionally, women have not gone into that line of work, to say the least.

• No obstante, la conclusión de la GAO de que las sanciones impuestas a los empresarios habían causado de algún modo discriminación en el empleo fue desmentida por la propia Jefa de Metodología de la GAO, que criticó el informe de la GAO. ...esto es lo que dijo: 'Creo que la verdad es que no tenemos ningún vínculo causal sólido entre IRCA y la discriminación, y en [mi] opinión es tan probable que la discriminación que encontramos siempre haya estado ahí, o que sea espuria, como que IRCA la haya causado'.
