CBS. Roper. Gallup. whoever have you. has shown that fewer than 10 percent of the individuals in America want to increase immigration. The vast majority. in fact. want it to remain the same or actually have it decreased. Those individuals have a real concern about the cost of immigrants. and I think it is a concern that we need to address. Every study. including the studies I have mentioned. talk about the need for skilled workers. and yet 4.300 does not go far enough in emphasizing those skilled workers and giving a priority to individual immigrants who might be able to come to this country with the skills and the talents that we need. Mr. Chairman. there is another study that is often cited that has been the subject of several "Dear Colleague" letters. and that is the deTocqueville study.
