Mr. President. amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens currently in these United States would establish a dangerous precedent which could well encourage additional illegal immigration. Additional millions of desperate people could head to the United States on the heels of economic chaos or political chaos in their homelands. For example. between the Rio Grande and the Panama Canal there are over 100 million people. If only 10 percent of these people flee economic chaos or political chaos engendered by Communist expansion in this area the illegal population could very well be doubled in this country. An Associated Press report from Mexico City on July 14. 1982. states that American officials predict that.
