Mr. President. today I am introducing a bill to address the seemingly perpetual problem of immigration. We are often told the United States of America was established by immigrants. Indeed. immigration has been the cornerstone of America. I could not agree more about the positive impact immigrants have played in America. nor will I dispute the positive role immigrants will play in the future. We are taught to believe that immigration to America has been. and should be. a perpetual and unlimited right. However. our capacity. as a country. to process and assimilate the heavy flow of immigrants is not sustainable. Excessive demands on social. medical and welfare services accentuate the necessity to address the problem immediately. A quick survey of the condition of State budgets. particularly those of California.
