I think outside of the issue of the war in Iraq. this is front and center for our country. People in my State are concerned and affected by it. and they are in other parts of the country as well. We have 900.000 nonnativeborn individuals in my State of Massachusetts. Of those 900.000. 200.000 are undocumented. We have more than 3.000in the city of Bostonmore than 3.000 small businesses directly responsible for 34.000 jobs. more than half a billion dollars in pay and sales taxes in my State by those who are born in other countries. They represent probably less than 10 percent of the States population. and 17 percent of the job market.
