That is 12 million people. just using simple math. All we ask is that you simply follow existing law. For people who want to say our immigration system is broken. I would submit that what is broken is our enforcement system. You had only to look to the southern border last summer and see the flood of unaccompanied minors coming overnot sneaking across the border. simply walking across the border and turning themselves inand this country was required to deal with that on an emergent basis. The State of Texas was required to deal with that on an emergent basis. There was a lot of discussion as to why that surge happened. I think there is a link back to the President saying: I am going to suspend enforcement of some of our immigration laws. It sent a message. It sent a message to people: Yall come.
