We have not done that. We still allow unrestricted immediate relatives into the United States. But we do say that then those are offset against the family reunification preference system because if there is one thing that will come out of this body. whether this bill comes out or not. we are going to set a cap on legal immigration into the United States. When you do that you squeeze. and you squeeze human beings. and that is the unfortunate thing. But the whole thrust of what we have been up to is to allow that squeeze to affect much less spouses and minor children and affect much more adult brothers and sisters.
