I firmly believe that my amendment is generous and flexible. H.R. 1510 provides a review cycle so that we can make a determination every 3 years as to how well the changes we make are working. The "periodic review" mechanism will insure that Congress has a regular opportunity to adjust the ceiling provision. or any other provision for that matter. in the immigration law. In closing. I would like to repeat that which we all know and which we can be proud of. No other country attracts immigrants as strongly as the United States. No other country approaches the number of legal immigrants accepted. My amendment will not change this. Ours is a rapidly changing world and it is vital that our immigration policy continue to serve the national interest. In my opinion. this means we must reform legal immigration. I. therefore. urge my colleagues to consider this matter carefully and vote in favor of my amendment.
