They have to get in the back of the line. That is fine. But on top of the 12 million workers. we then have our regular program of green cards. Madam President. 1.1 million receive green cards. 1.5 million In 2005 were given temporary worker admission. So here we have a circumstance where we are legalizing 12 million people. most of whom are workers. we have another 3 million who come in every year. plus we have our regular immigration system. andl now we are adding on top of that 400.000 workers a year. Now. according to the Economic Policy Institute. nearly 30 million Americans make an average wage of $7 an hour. The plight of these working poor is not getting better.
