While it is estimated to increase only $13 billion over the first 5 years. during the course of the second 5 years. it is expected to skyrocket up another $41 billion as the amnesty provisions begin to kick in. Conveniently for the authors of the bill. CBOs cost estimate stops there. See. under the bill. illegal immigrants have a 6year waiting period from enactment to establishing legal permanent resident status. Then after another 5 years. they can become citizens. Thus. in the l1th year. conveniently just out of reach of CBOs analysis. millions of people who entered this country illegally will be granted citizenship.
