I will just take 2 minutes. What the bill does. everybody agreed to the bill nobody really knows what the amendment is about. What the amendment does very simply is it doubles the number of visas for Mexico and for Canada and it places the number or takes it up to 40.000. The amendment also keeps the extra visas and eliminates the conditions. This amendment assures that the demand for immigrant visas in Mexico and Canada are met by allowing one country to use up the remaining visas. In summary. Mr. Chairman. I would say that we do have a special relationship with Canada and Mexico. Mexico is one of our largest trading partners and I believe by giving Mexico unused visas or vice versa. we are recognizing the importance of our relationship with our neighbor south of the border. Mr. Chairman.
