They have neither sought nor required any State or Federal welfare assistance. They are a credit to their community and to this country. Because of my concern for the Patels. and the uncounted immigrants who share their nightmarish battle with our immigration laws. I introduced S. 1789 to give amnesty to lawabiding immigrants who lived here for 10 years and had Americanborn children. The processing of that bill is now made unnecessary by the prospective enactment of S. 2222. What I wish to do at this time is to continue this colloquy with the distinguished Senator from Wyoming to establish the legislative history which I think is clearbut there is nothing like making it explicit in the legislative historythat the Patels do. in fact. fall within the provisions of S. 2222 and will be permitted to remain in the United States.
