The Senator from Wyoming and I have entered a colloquy into the RzOaoD. but I want to say further that about I year from now I hope the committee will have GAO or some similar agency to study what is called the investor preferred status under the bill under which anybody who offers to invest $250.000 in the United States and create four Jobs or more gets preferred status. That is not new. That has been a part of the old law. where it was only required that you put up $40.000 in investments in this country. But there is something repugnantfrankly. there is Just something repugnantto me about a provision in an immigration bill that says if you have $250.000. you can get into the United States. In my opinion. wealthy people may be able to bring their whole family over simply because of that provision whereas other people who are equally deserving might not be able to come to this country. As I say.
