Unless we get control of our borders now. our population will almost double in the next 65 years. The plain fact is. we do not have an infinite capacity to absorb these people. The amnesty contained in this bill creates a powerful additional pull factor that will only encourage greater illegal immigration to the United States. Anyone who is at all familiar with immigration. both legal and illegal. will tell you that for a modest amount of a few hundred dollars an immigrant can obtain forged documents showing he came over on the Mayflower. There is a large number of counterfeiters who are already prepared to provide all the documents an illegal immigrant needs to establish his eligibility for legalization. such as: Rent receipts. drivers license. birth certificate. and Social Security card. And the counterfeiters will get that fee. They are getting it now. The old adage that "you cant put a price on freedom" may be true. but not at our borders. We ourselves will create a tidal wave of new illegal immigrants that will make our current immigration problems seem modest by comparison. Imagine our grandchildren living in a nation of onehalf billion people. How could we possibly preserve our environment. natural resources. farmland and economic well being under such circumstances?
