So I think. while what is said about the Simpson amendment makes sense and is technically correct. we have to look behind that and look at who these people really are and what the real facts are. Let me turn. if I could. to another issue but it is related. It is related to SimpsonMazzoli that passed in 1986. and It is related to the overall rhetoric about the extent. number of legal immigrants who are coming into this country. The statement is made that we are at an alltime high. That is simply not true. It is not even close to being true. It is not accurate. We are at the rate of approximately. talking about legal immigrants. of 2 per thousand of our population. We have been at roughly this rate for 30 years. We have been at higher. we have been at lower during our history.
