President. in this second category we have talked about earlier. we have altered the second preference in a way that says that if an individual is here as a permanent resident alienfor example. admitted here into the United States because they have certain skills for employment in the United Stateswe are putting a limitation which has not existed heretofore on their ability to bring their children to the United States. The bill establishes a cutoff in the legislation at the age of 21. My amendment just says that they can bring unmarried sons and daughters. without regard to age. This amendment simply restores the existing terms of the second preference immigration category. I support the efforts by my distinguished colleague. Senator SIMPSON. to increase the numbers available for this preferenceto help relieve some of the enormous backlogs that have developed especially in Mexico.
