Mr. President. as long ago as July 21. 1981. Attorney General Williams French Smith testified that "We have lost control of our borders." Under this bill. illegal aliens who arrived prior to January 1. 1982. would be allowed to remain in our country. How many illegal aliens are currently here? While the exact number is impossible to calculate. estimates range from some 3V2 million to over 10 million. Some estimates even range as high as 15 million. The administration has used a figure of 6 million which. it would appear. is a conservative estimate. Whatever the exact figure is. it is clear that effective measures are necessary to regain control of our borders.
