Mr. President. my senior colleague has stated he wants to look toward parity for Puerto Rico so as to slow down the flow of immigration to the mainland. I think the practical effect would be quite the opposite. I do not know whether the Rules of the Senate permit wager on the floor of the Senate. However. if they do. I would be willing to wager with him a bet of $1.60. which I understand is the minimum wager allowed. that the net effect. if the amendment is rejected. would be to accelerate the flow of immigration from Puerto Rico to New York. And if it does. New York would become the fifth largest Spanishspeaking community in the country.
