Those are important things I think to keep in mind. We do have a special counsel on board now and he will be reviewing whatever complaints of employment discrimination might be presented. The legalization. which. of course. was the most controversial aspect of the bill. was opposed by some who feared it would legalize "millions upon millions" of illegal aliens. and by others who said it would provide legal status for too few persons. perhaps only a few hundred thousand. Both apparently were wrong. Thus far. more than 900.000 applications for legalization have been received. which is right in line with the Congressional Budget Offices preenactment estimated total of 1.5 to 2 million persons.
