From The Aspen Times: First of all, according to U.S .Border Control (www.usbc.org), which has done exhaustive research, it’s 20 million illegal aliens, not 12 million. And, it appears that this bill would allow these 20 million to bring in their immediate family members – parents, children, brothers and sisters, and, of course, a spouse. [...]
