If that does not happen until the year 2020. Mexico will have a population of 270 million people eventually. If we think we have illegal immigration problems today. my friends can look down the road a piece and the problems are just going to be horrendous. That means we have to work with Mexico. We can pass a dozen bills like this but if we do not work with Mexico. we are not going to get anything done. I think this bills provisions of working with Mexico are very important. Among other things. it calls for the Immigration and Naturalization Service to report back to us 90 days after the enactment of this. consulting with Mexico. telling us what needs to be done in the way of personnel resources and technical help. It adopts the sense of the Congress that the President of the United States should consult with the President of Mexico. because this bill is going to have a major impact on the economy of Mexico. And it provides other things that move us in the direction of working with Mexico.
