This is a bill that by our own evaluation does not bode well. There is another factor that many of my colleagues probably do not know. have never understood. My staff has worked very hard to account for the actual flow of legal immigration into the country. In the next 20 years. this country. if this bill is passed. will see a doubling of the legal permanent residents in America. That is the number of people who are given a green card. That is the next step to citizenship. Anybody with legal permanent residence can move on to citizenship. It will double the number of legal permanent residents. which is what we call green card holders. So we are not going to have any reduction in illegality. and we are going to have a major increasea doubling of legal immigration. I am worried about that. We have been talking here about this debate about card check and unions.
