That is one reason why we are having a difficult time in reaching a balanced budget. This is a serious problem and one that many in this body recognize. I believe that before the end of this year. we will have some reasonable approaches to the question of our immigration policy. It is also ironic that we have thousands of good citizens around the world who have relatives here who are citizens. Those people want to come here. and we want them to come here. but because of the quota system. they have been waiting for years and may have to wait years again. Yet. Fidel Castro can send us 125.000. including several thousand criminals. who just walk in. and we pay the cost and set them up and give them a chance to be citizens.
