So again. because of my trust and confidence in the chairman of this committee on the House side. as well as in our fine colleague. the gentleman from Kentucky and the gentleman from Nebraska . I really do want some assurances relative to family unification. I think family reunification is still a strong basic premise of our immigration laws. It is a basic premise for many Americans to want to pursue family reunification. As Members may know. current law provides this socalled fifth preference to assist brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens in obtaining visas to join their siblings here. This provision is directly linked to the underlying premise of our immigration lawsfamily reunification. To abolish or even to scale back this preference would be to step away from that basic premise. This is not a new issue.
