One of the problems we have tried to deal with in this bill is to try to limit the reach of it. Now. there are those who wanted to go further. and there are some amendments being offered which would seek to open this thing up. The gentleman from California has one. the gentleman from Massachusetts has another. but basically speaking. the committee. the subcommittee has hewed to the line of trying to deal with undocumented entry and how to deal with it sensitively and humanely. To that extent. I would again remind the House that in very many versions of the immigration reform bill over the last three Congresses. the gentlemans amendment did appear. So this is not the first time we have confronted it. It does satisfy a matter that we have dealt with with our neighbors to the north and neighbors to the south.
