If the gentleman will yield further. I wish to compliment the gentleman on his presentation. I think he has made a very articulate case for a cap. as well as for consideration. at least a predicate for it. of his own amendment coming up on the serious problems we are going to get into unless we do something to think seriously about legal immigration and the fifth preference and family unification. We just simply cannot put our heads in the sand like ostriches and ignore the problem. as much as we want to continue to allow the door to be open totally. While illegal immigration is the thrust of this bill and is the main problem that concerns this Member. there is no way we should be ignoring legal immigration. Initially. the legislation in our subcommittee did address some of these problems and was proceeding in that line. but it was taken out in full committee. I fully support the effort of the gentleman from California to put a cap and I appreciate the gentleman from Nebraska making the points he has made.
