You would have 924.000 the third year. you would have 1.4 million the fourth year. you would have 1.958.000 the fifth year. and this keeps going up so. by the eighth year. you would have 3.158.000 people in the country legally working under this program. There is a very important assumption built into this chart. The assumption is that everybody who comes in under this program goes home when their visa says they ought to go home:. nobody overstays his or her visa. If. in fact. that assumption is false and people get to the end of their 6 years and say: Wait a minute. I am not ready to leave the United States. I am staying. and they stay here on an undocumented basis at that point and overstay their visa. then they go on top of these numbers. So you have a tremendous number of new people. This is a brandnew program.
