President. I feel that the statement has been made. I think we are in an extremely unfortunate situation as posed by the Senator from New York where we are getting the wives and children of legalized aliens versus the brothers and sisters of American citizens. and that is a part of the pitting families against families to deal with a public policy question which I think is certainly outside of this extremely important policy question where we ought to be trying to have public policy that is bringing families together rather than immigration bills that are going to continue the separation. Ultimately we are going to have to make a judgment. and the Senator has put the question well. as to where we are going to draw the line. because we all vote yea and nay. I will vote with those who give preference to the close family relationships. but I regret very much being placed in that position.
