When I am told that there is no discrimination in this bill. I can only say to my colleagues that there definitely isthat the only thing they have to do is read the bill with understanding and compassion and they will conclude. as many already have. that this bill in its present form is in fact discriminatory. I am concerned also about the fact that our counterpart committee in the other body has altered current policy favoring family reunification by eliminating present preferences for brothers and sisters and spouses and children. making it almost impossible for an otherwise legal alien to be united with his family. Now. what rationale and what attitude of mind prompted this action? The worst part about all of this is that Senator KENNEDY proposed to restore the present system and proposed three amendments and each one of those amendments failed.
