The Senator from Wyoming said earlier that the Senator from Texas comments that there are some 4 million to 7 million and it was wrong. that the official estimate was 2 million to 4 million. but he thought it was higher. which I think brings it back to the range the junior Senator from Texas was talking about. So it is somewhere in that range. so far as anyone knows. How many documents will it take to prove the basic facts of the presence of 4 million to 7 million illegal aliens? Let us say they have to produce 5 million. offhand. That is 25 million to 35 million documents that they will produce. and we are supposed to have an Immigration Service that is capable of determining whether or not those documents are valid. whether the facts surrounding them can be verified. whether or not the person who has brought those documents forward has carried the burden of proof. That is going to take manpower. The Immigration and Naturalization Service will be swamped. absolutely inundated. in a sea of paperwork which they must attempt to verify. We are told casuallyno. I should not say casuallywe are told it is as though it is no real problem. and we will simply put the burden of proof on them. and if they cannot prove it. there will be a severe penalty.
