"The Senate's immigration bill will only reduce illegal immigration by
about 25 percent a year, according to a new Congressional Budget Office report,
Stephen Dinan will report Tuesday in The Washington Times.
The bill's new
guest-worker program could lead to at least 500,000 more illegal immigrants
within a decade, said the report from the CBO, which said in its official cost
estimate that it assumes some future temporary workers will overstay their time
in the plan, adding up to a half-million by 2017 and 1 million by 2027. ....
And in a blow to President Bush's timetable, the CBO said the 'triggers' --
setting up the verification system, deploying 20,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents
to duty and constructing hundreds of miles of fencing and vehicle barriers --
won't be met until 2010.
Those triggers must be met before the temporary
worker program could begin, and Mr. Bush had hoped to have them completed about
the time he leaves office in January 2009."
Just another nail in the coffin. This may be the end of Bush, he has and is putting a lot behind this bill and I think that he is losing a strong source of support by doing so.
