I am sympathetic that it is a problem. that while I think all of this is fine. we have to recognize we have some limitation on how many people we can take into this country every year and still meet our obligations that we assume toward them and that we still are not doing too good a job domestically. It seems to me that a refugee is in a critical position. We cannot very well say. "Stay out in the boat and drown." No matter how many. we have to find some way to make room for them. and we have done that. But it seems to me that you have to simultaneously recognize our capacity. and in order to get more capacity to accommodate that many refugees in a year. the only way to debit the newcomers into the United States. people who perhaps speak different languages and need assimilation and support. I think. is with this amendment.
