I appreciate what the gentleman said. While the exact number of the millions of illegal aliens potentially eligible for amnesty is very fluid, data shows that historically each immigrant to the United States sponsors an average of 3.45 additional family members for green cards. So theoretically, if the estimated 13 million illegal aliens currently here in the United States were given lawful status and sponsored green cards for three or four family members, 43 million--let me repeat that, 43 million--new immigrants would be coming in. This is astounding data. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).
