Chairman. I think that we do not only a disservice to ourselves. as I said. but we are really being unrealistic. We are not recognizing that we would be leaving the undocumented who have come in from 1980 up to 1982 in limbo. I do not know whether those individuals who came in from 1978 to 1980. and who would be given temporary resident status believe it is going to be worth their while to come forward. I do not know what the answer to that question might be. but I do know that the post1982 people like their predecessors. are presently engaged in employment. have paid into income taxes and have done whatever they possibly can to show they are part of this society.
