Well, first of all, the underground economy right now for people, my estimate is about 25 to 27 million illegal aliens in the country. You are going to bring in another 7 million, so you are going to have an underground economy. Those people who are not skilled laborers are going to have a tough time getting jobs. A lot of these folks are going to go on social welfare programs, even though they are not supposed to be allowed to. They will get on social welfare programs. We are already on the verge of stagflation right now, high inflation and a shrinking GDP. As that happens, and you bring in that many people undocumented, you are going to actually exacerbate both those problems, and we may see the likes of something we haven't seen since Jimmy Carter. It might even exceed what happened under Jimmy Carter, who was probably the most unfortunate and incompetent President in my lifetime.
