It is a wholly new thing based upon permanent residency or citizenship. and discrimination based on that degree of alienage. I assure the Senatorand the majority leader has done sothat if we are allowed to go forward. we will accommodate the Members on both sides of the aisle and deal separately with that issue at a separate time. either through hearing or a sense of the Senate resolution. or perhaps even if the House passes it. then when the Senate appoints conferees. a motion to appoint conferees would be in order. I assure the Senator that we will work toward that. so the window is there for an independent vote on a rather puzzling. extraneous. and yet important part of the issue of immigration reform.
