What we did not know. I apologize to the Senate. when we acted in hasteI have made these mistakes before and I will probably make them againwhen we acted in haste we probably did not understand the full consequences. or maybe just two or three. If a person comes to this country from Italy. from Poland. from Germany. from Hong Kong. and becomes a legal immigrant. works and is prosperous. and reaches a certain age and the tug of the old home country is strong and that person goes back home. since he or she has never become a U.S. citizen this bill does not touch that person. Those people are free to leave with all their millions or billions or whatever they have because they have never become U.S. citizens. Now you take exactly the same type of person who leaves Poland or Germany. comes here. becomes a citizen. and the tug of the old home country when they reach close to retirement is such that they leavethey are taxed.
