Those backlogs are most desirable. as they create continuing pressure for private billsf you look. you will see where we have gone with that over the yearsremedial legislation. and illegal entry. So the issue is back to this: If numbers are made available for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens. these numbers will be taken away from the closer family membersthat is. spouses. sons and daughters of permanent resident aliens. and married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens. The committee decided that it was preferable to make the limited visa numbers available to the closer family members. That is what we had to do throughout the situation. because of one thingwe know that a cap is coming. There is no questionI doubt that anyone in this Chamber or within hearing of my voice knowsthat we are going to put a cap on legal immigration. When we do. the sorting process gets tough. So throughout in what we did with S. 2222 was recognize who should be reunited first and we felt it should be the very closest family members.
