But the bill that came out of committee did a number of different things. One. it would immediately legalize the 12 to. some say. 20 million people who are here illegally. It would give them a green card in a relatively short period. It would then put them on an automatic path to citizenship. Once they become a citizen. they are able to bring in family members and even brothers and sisters. mothers and fathers. It would double the number of legal visas. I think. to 400.000. Each one of those would not be as though you have a visa to come in. These visas are not just to come in to work for 6 months or a year and go back to your home country. This 400.000 will allow you to stay up to 6 years and then allow you. at the end of 4 years. to apply for a green card. And once you get that permanent green card. you can apply for citizenship. So it will be about another 400.000. We think. conservatively speaking. this bill would add 30 million people to our Nation in the next 10 years.
