There will be some who stay. as there always have been some who stayed. For my colleagues who are concerned about the treatment of Hispanics if we strike legalization. I would remind them that Mexico is liberally treated under this bill. as it has been for years under our immigration laws. We know that. and for the last year we have the figures. In 1981. there were about 489.000 immigrants who came into this country legally. not counting refugees. That is legal immigrants. 489.000. Of the 489.000. 101.000 were Mexican. In this bill we give an additional 20.000 to Mexico in the ceiling numbers in the preference system.
