Mr. President. we shall have an opportunity to get into the details of the matters about family reunification. But I want to make it very clear that the Senator from Wyoming is enormously persuasive. He is a very compelling debater. But it is important for this body to understand the factsthe facts. Fact number one: In the history of this country. we have never included in the total immigration ceilings the spouses and children of U.S. citizens. Sure. they are going to be able to come in ahead of others. but once you put a ceiling on those particular numbers. then you begin to squeeze down other numbers. I will be interested in listening to the Senator from Wyoming explain how this legislation will permit what is permissible today. and that is the admission of brothers and sisters of American citizens to come to the United States. because in the expression of someone from Massachusetts or the expression of someone from Wyoming. "It aint so." As the Senator pointed out.
