CBO says you will cover 600.000 more eligible children. 600.000 children. You would be better off to give each one of them $80.000 in cash. and they would probably get better results. In 1996. we had an immigration bill that provided that if you wanted to bring somebody and sponsor somebody to come into this country legally. you would have to say they would not go on the public rolls of Medicaid and other programs for 5 years. This bill removes that. CBO says that alone will cost $2.2 billion. and we let sponsors off the hook and we put them on the public payroll. If we have a bill like the Senate was considering that would make 20 million illegals legal. that cost alone would be $140 billion a year. What it does. too. is it says. in the area of immigration. we are going to spend $400 billion paying for translators. not just to serve people but to enroll them in the program. That is $400 million. Now they can say this does not open it up to illegal immigrants just by saying that. CBO says it will cost $2 billion because they think that is the cost that it is. What they are saying is just sign an affidavit that says you are legally in this country.
