I have listened to the gentleman from New York. the gentleman from California. the gentleman from New Mexico. and the last gentleman from California who spoke of his personal remembrances as part of a family that would have qualified under this particular amendment had they been in illegal status today. The argument has been made that these are good people. they are hardworking people. they are deserving people. and that argument is correct. However. there is a world full of people that would fall into that definition. I saw them in refugee camps in the jungles up close to the Cambodian border. I have seen them in my own home district in south Florida. You can find them all over this country.
