Do we need to know that? Sure. What level of immigration in the future is in our best national. economic. social. and cultural interests? What is the interest of the United States? What do we need as a country? What would be good for us? We believe in immigration. we want immigration to continue. I think we might even probably agree that we should increase the number of people who come legally into our country. But what level is correct? Have we discussed that? Have you heard any debate about that? I next asked what categories of immigrants should compose the overall level of annual immigration. What categories? So I said we need to have a national discussion. We had one hearing. We had a group of professors for about 2 hours to discuss the general economic principles relating to immigration. It just was not satisfactory. We did not examine in any way the specific provisions of this 600page piece of legislation.
