So that is the essence of the argument in opposition to the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts. I do oppose it because the amendment would very effectively simply remove the cap and. if there is one thing I sense in the debate at least in the past 2 or 3 years. It is that somewhere in this debate we will place a cap on legal immigration. As unfortunate or fortunate as we may believe that to be. a cap will be set. So this amendment would effectively remove the cap. It would restore the present situation and it would prevent us from obtaining control over immigration. It is indeed the true opening. the true wedge in the control aspects of the legislation. So those are our choices.
