We have also recognized the importance of permitting children to be reunited with their family. and not be prohibited because they turn 21. Third. this idea of the reunification of the family will be weakened because of the inclusion within a rigid ceiling for the first time in our history of immediate relatives of American citizens. I think that is a significant and important retreat upon what I consider to be the commitment of the American people to family reunification. Yes. we have to do something about the flow of people coming into this society. We cannot deal with all of those who want to come here. but I think the American people feel strongly that we should not compromise on the importance of the family unit.
