In addition to the magnet effect that I believe would draw thousands. yes millions. across our borders if we pass the amnesty that is in this bill. I also believe it would be an enormous burden to the American taxpayer in many. many ways. because of the welfare that many of these folks would go on and the dollars required to be expended on additional school and additional hospital costs. additional costs for police. We have seen it in Florida In a very capsulized form in a short period of time with those who were there from the Cuban and Haitian immigration. We fortunately have In this bill provisions so that no individual State will bear the brunt of those costs. but the American taxpayers certainly will as a whole. I would urge those.
