So Senator BINGAMAN offered two amendments and I offered one that passed and it reduced the number to 53 million. Real progress. right? Not so fast. The current rate of immigration over 20 years in our country is 18.9 million. maybe closer to 20 million. So it was at 53 million. which is 21/ times the current rate of immigration. So I dont think the American people who thought we were reforming immigration ever understood that the real plan was to increase legal immigration by 2 / times. So I am worried about the numbers in this years bill. is all I am saying. We are going to look at it.
