Now. there is an action in the other body that discusses the idea of extending this again another 4 years. And this was a program that was snuck in 3 years ago and was only supposed to be around for 3 years. Let me remind my colleagues that there are 3.000.500 people waiting patiently to immigrate legally. They do not have the chance to pay $1.000 and get on the fast track. because they have played by the rules. The fact is there is a million people in this country today that have been identified by the immigration department that are potentially eligible to buy into this amnesty program with $1.000. Now. originally. when this bill was passed and this amnesty program was put in. it was estimated that only 10.000 people would take advantage of this program. and they said that only 10.000 would be initiated. The fact is 400.000 have applied.
