I was impressed with my discretion in this one. that it would begin to have a compressing effect in the future. I do think that is the problem. I would expect a reasonable growth in the immigration level. I think it is mistaken to argue with regard to legal immigration levels at this time. This bill is an effort to deal with the problem caused by illegal immigration because when people enter illegally. it is not good for them. and it is not good for society when people are here illegally. It is not an antiimmigrant bill. It is not a repudiation of the American tradition of people coming here and joining together to build this society. By restricting legal immigration. you transform a piece of legislation that was aimed at dealing with a problem that is caused not by immigration. but by its illegality. and you cast aspersions on the whole notion of Immigration. which I think is not good public policy. and certainly not good for this bill.
