I would not change a single sentence in it. We have to deal with this huge quantity of people. We have to deal with legal immigration. We cannot just talk about illegal immigrants and try to scapegoat them. We have to deal with legal immigrants as well. I would point out the politically potent groups lobby in regard to the legal immigrant category. The less powerful groups speak for the illegal immigrant category. So we are being asked to leave out the biggest numbers. those of legal immigration. and Just pound on the illegal immigrants. That is. in effect. what is going on here. Let us deal with this subject comprehensively. both legal and illegal.
