Chairman. I appreciate the opportunity to say two things. first something general. briefly. in 30 seconds. and then answer to the best of my ability the gentlemans specific question. It is not this gentlemans intention. by offering the amendment today. to in any way breach the important values that we both share on family reunification with respect to those who have an oppressed circumstance who may seek asylum and/or become a political refugee. I am concerned about how we define that person who comes here illegally. who is already in the country in an undocumented status. who by virtue of no restrictions whatsoever. is able to give status to others beyond brother and sister.
