But the best numbers. the most reliable numbers came from Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation. and the numbers that I saw there near the end of that debate were 66 million people that would be brought into the United States under the policies that exist and the ones that the Senate would have added in their reform bill that they passed last year. A lot of that same sentiment. 66 million people. Madam Speaker. And so I went back and looked. and I wondered how many people were naturalized into the United States legally in all of our history. And it turns out that we began keeping records in 1820. Not at the beginning. but in the 1820s.
