And then you know I would like to hear quite honestly from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. We have never really. The Democrats plan for immigration does not seem to be out there today. I would like to hear their solution to the problem. I would like for both sides of the aisle to sit down and say. lets work this thing out intelligently. And I will give you just one example. a couple examples not being addressed. One right now. there is a tremendous backlog on background investigations of people who are coming and have come into this country illegally to get their visas extended. They have to have a background check or to get into this country with a background check. That thing could take anywhere from 18 months and the backlog just once they start processing it. it can take up to 18 months or longer. Right now in my part of Texas. our San Antonio office is working on the years 1998. 1999 and 2000. We are going to take that system in its present condition and dump 15 millionplus people into that system for background checks? Or do they get to miss that part that the legal immigrants have to take? Health exams have to be done for everyone that comes in the United States. What are we going to do to examine the health of 15 million people in this country to make sure that there are not communicable diseases in this country?
