Does the Gang of Eight expect President Obama to begin rounding up 3.5 million people for mass deportations? Or do pro-amnesty Republicans expect the 3.5 million illegal immigrants who don’t qualify for legalization to self-deport?
Worse, the CBO estimates that the Schumer-Rubio bill will only decrease future illegal immigration by 25 percent. Under current law, CBO estimates that the illegal immigrant population would grow 6.4 million by 2023. If Schumer-Rubio passes, CBO estimates illegal immigration will only grow 4.8 million.
So, ten years from now, if Schumer-Rubio becomes law, CBO estimates there will still be 8.3 million illegal immigrants in the United States (the 3.5 million not legalized today plus the 4.8 million new illegal immigrants).
