Dear Mr. Chairman:
At the request of your staff, the Congressional Budget Office is providing
additional detail on some of the components of its cost estimate for S. 2611,
the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, as introduced on
April 7, 2006. That estimate was transmitted on May 16, 2006, and does not
reflect the impact of any subsequent amendments to the bill.
The attached tables detail CBO's estimates of the number of individuals
affected in various ways by the bill:
Table 1 presents CBO's estimates of the number of individuals directly
affected by several major provisions of the legislation-the guest-
worker program, the increased limits on family-sponsored and
employment-based admissions, the legalization of undocumented
immigrants, and the blue-card program. The table presents those
estimates in two categories. The first category consists of people who
are either already in the country or would be expected to enter the
country, legally or illegally, under current law; the second category
consists of those individuals CBO estimates would enter the country
legally as a result of the bill.
* Table 2 displays CBO's projections of the pattern of illegal
immigration under current law and under 5. 2611.
