There is no realistic way our government can round.up and deport the hundreds of thousands. perhaps as many as several mil. lion. of unauthorized aliens presently living in the United States. The disruption to communities. families and businesses would be catastrophic. The disorders on our borders and the severe economic dislocations which would take place in Mexico and other countries as Jobless immigrants streamed home could shake th very foundations of the already unstable economies of Central America. Undocumented workers have contributed substantially to the productivity of our economy. They have earned our acceptance. The Senate recognized this when it provided in the alien legalization provisions that those who wish to apply for permanent residence. and who have lived and worked here since 1977 would be eligible to do so.
