would cut the rate of illegal immigration to the United States by as much as
50 percent, according to a congressional analysis released Wednesday.
The original version of the Gang’s bill would reduce illegal immigration by
25 percent compared to what would happen under the status quo. But the “
border surge” amendment, written by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and John
Hoeven (R-N.D.) would lower that anywhere between one-third and one-half of
the current rate.
But the CBO also had this caveat: The drop in illegal immigration would not
come right away.
“It would take several years before [the Department of Homeland Security]
could hire the full number of Border Patrol agents called for in the act,”
the CBO wrote in its analysis.
The CBO also said Wednesday that the Senate immigration bill would still
slash the deficit by billions of dollars over two decades. The legislation
would cut the deficit in the first 10 years by $135 billion, once the cost
of implementing the bill is accounted for. In the second 10 years, the
deficit would be cut by an additional $685 billion.
Those are lower figures than what the CBO initially reported, which was an
estimated $175 billion over the first 10 years and $700 billion over the
second 10 years. The revised numbers take into account the cost of the
border surge, which the CBO says totals roughly $38 billion.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the leader of the Gang of Eight, noted
Wednesday that the border surge “further substantially” cut the rate of
future illegal immigration, but said the CBO’s methodology “underestimates
” the actual figures.
Still, “CBO once again vindicated immigration reform and shows how the
amendment process improved the bill,” Schumer said in a statement. “CBO
has reaffirmed that immigration reform reduces the debt and grows the
economy.”
