So now it is 400.000 andl over 2 years it becomes. at a minimum. 800.000. and there are accelerators in it that indicate to usthe way my staff calculated the numbersand I think we are fairly accurateit would be. in 2 years. almost 900.000 temporary workers alone. not including their family members. So I am not sure that is correct. Professor Borjas at Harvard. himself a Cuban refugee who has studied immigration more deeply than anyone in the country. I would suspect. has written one of the more preeminent books. "Heavens Door." that deals statistically and quite methodically with immigration and its consequences and how it works out. It is calculated that the lowincome workers in America have received an 8percent reduction in their wages as a result of a large amount of immigration. So there is no doubt that more and more immigration has an increasingly adverse impact on the wages of hardworking American citizens. I dont think anybody can dispute that. Where did this come fromthe 400.000really 800.000really almost 900.000? Where did that number come from? I dont know. Professor Borjas. who is a part of the Kennedy School at Harvardperhaps Senator KENNEDY needs to meet him sometimeProfessor Borjas said in his opinion. 500.000 immigrants a year is the right number. I dont know what the right number is. He is a Cuban immigrant. He came here as a young man fleeing the oppression of Castro. That is what he says.
