The greatest number of aliens would still be in legal limbo. having failed to take advantage of the program. The economic costs incurred in the simple administration of the program must be acknowledged also. If the INS can barely handle its workload now processing applications for legal immigration. how will it handle the millions more expected under the amnesty program? At a time when Government spending is being cut left and right. can we logically expect enough funding to go to INS to make a legalization program run smoothly or work anywhere near the level we are going to demand of it? There is even one further cost to this program: With the time spent on paperwork and the demands of the bureaucracy. more time. attention. and personnel will be taken away from the task of protecting our border. where this whole issue really begins. We cannot solve the problem of illegal aliens in our country if we do not take steps to secure our borders first. There are social costs to this legalization program. too. If we are truly interested in the plight of aliens. in justice for these people. then tell me: Is it fair to enact a sweeping program of general amnesty to illegal aliens when thousands and thousands are waiting patiently. and have been for years. to enter our country legally? Where is the justice in that? Amnesty makes a mockery of our laws.
