Mr. President. this wellintentioned but misguided amendment runs directly against the proudest traditions of this country. It would pit against each other two types of people seeking to come into this countryimmediate family members or persons already living in the United Statescitizens or permanent resident aliensand refugees. people fleeing persecution in their own countries. We all know who would win that kind of perverse competitionthe relatives of those already here. I wish there were no refugees in the world. then we would not have this problem. But there are millions of them. They are fleeing Vietnam. Afghanistan. Ethiopia. Poland. and so on.
