The bill, as it is currently written, will allow family members to also apply for Amnesty. So the 12-25 million here could invite their family members not yet in the United States, thus giving amnesty to 25-80 million more people.

When these new immigrants get the new ‘Z’ visa, they will automatically be allowed all social services natralized American citizens are afforded. The Heritage Foundation estimates that the average illegal immigrants currently makes about $25,000-$30,000 a year. They use, on average, $10,000 of services they estimate. When the illegal immigrants get the new visa they will start paying taxes, but that is only $1,500-$2,000 an additional per year (primiarly from income taxes). Therefore the new immigrants will still be using a disproportionate amount of social services. They estimate, over 20 years, that these new immigrants will cost the American tax payer over $2 trillion.

When so many new people are added to a country, it does not give them enough time to acclimate to that country, thus the country changes from its own values to that these news immigrants.

• Healthcare (Medicare, Emergency Rooms closings)
• Social Services (Social Security, Welfare)
• Education (costs of schools, English-as-a-second Language classes)
• ‘Anchor Babies’ (14-year-olds having babies)
• Criminal (32% of all violent crime is done by illegals)
• Employment (H-1B visa depress American wages in that field, Low-skilled Americans have a harder time getting a job)
• Policial (66% of new immigrants vote Democrat)

My father came legally here in 1970 when he was 16 and my mom legally in 1971 when she was 14. In 1972 my father joined the military and became a citizen in 1975. My mom became a citizen in 1982.

As a 1st generation American I can say that controlled legal immigration is good for our country.

Our priorties should be:

1. Control the physical border (fences, drones, Border Patrol agents)
2. National Identification Card (national database for employee status verification)
3. Employeer Enforcement (once the National ID is in place, enforce existing laws)
4. Visa Enforcement (arrest Visa violators - some of the hijackers of 9/11 did this)
5. Change the Constitution (do not allow children of illegal immigrants to become legal citizens, but DO allow them to apply when they turn 18)
