Mr. President. the Senate Judiciary Committee. under the 2006 budget resolution. has only $6 million remaining. We are talking about a minimum of $2 billion in costs. according to the Congressional Budget Office. under the first 5 years of this immigration bill which is before us today. but the Judiciary Committee. under our budget resolution. has only $6 million remaining in its direct spending allocation for the next 5 years. CBOs preliminary estimate. according to the Congressional Budget Office letter I just read. is that amendment No. 3224 will spend at least $2 billion during that period and likely much more over that period and the next 5 years. This far exceeds the $6 millionit might sound large to you. but in the scheme of things we discuss today. it is a paltry sumallocated to the committee under the budget.
