I reiterate what the Heritage Foundation found. They found that without any change in the current law. 9.5 million individuals would enter the country as legal permanent residents over 10 years. CBO acknowledges that 11 million illegal immigrants currently are residing in the United States and over 10 years will be given legal permanent residence as a result of the bill. and an additional 7.8 million new legal immigrants will come into the country under this bill. Not only do we provide legal status for that large group of people here illegally. we start a new system that allows very substantial increases in legal immigration. According to the Congressional Budget Office numbers. over 28 million individuals. therefore. will obtain legal permanent residence over the next 10 years if S. 2611 passes. which is three times the current level that would occur under current law. People say this is just a bill to take care of people and to confront some issues we have to confront. work on the border. and deal with the future flow of immigration. It increases it. according to him. three times in the next 10 years. That is almost 30 million people.
