Speaker. We are underproducing in this country. What kind of a Nation would be having a debate about an immigration policy that would take in. they are saying with a straight face. 10- to 12 million people? I remember when under the Clinton administration. prior to the 1996 elections. they accelerated the naturalization process for a million people. a lot of them in California. Some of them made their way to Iowa. and some of them made It clear what they thought their agreement was. and I will speak about that another time perhaps. Mr. Speaker. but a million people came in prior to the 1996 Presidential elections. I was appalled that a million people could come into the United States like that. without having a real policy established here in this Congress. but just simply let across the border. naturalized. legalized. and given an opportunity to vote. But we are. and as appalled as I was by a million people in 1996. the United States Senate now is speaking openly about 10- to 12 million people. and I think they know what I believe and what my senior Senator believes. and that is that the number is not 10- or 12 million. it is more like 20or 22 million. or a number greater than that. And we are talking seriously.
