For Roy
Beck, president of Numbers USA, which advocates limiting immigration overall,
this new focus on enforcement was a relief since it changed a growing pattern
of legalization legislation. “There have been zero amnesties passed since
9/11,” he says. “It may be that 9/11 did change the environment so
that it became harder for Congress to continue to pass an amnesty every couple
years.”
