Their position. their long antipathy toward the bill is nothing new. nothing fresh. nothing to be added to the debate. A majority of the House and Senate voted in favor of this legislation last year and the President signed it. I think it is time to allow the legislation to mature and now to move on to the new questions facing U.S. immigration policy in the legal immigration policy areas. such as the overwhelming influence of family unification. There is nothing wrong with that. but we do want to be sure that we draw upon seed immigrants like we have throughout the history of our country and not go back to any racist selection or ethnic solution in the process. The important thing to remember is that all the players are still here. The people who were involved in the immigration reform bill in the House and the Senateall of us here and Congressman RODINO. Congressmen MAZZOLI. SCHUMER. FISH. LUNDGREN. and the new ranking member of the House Immigration and Reform Subcommittee. PAT SWINDALL and. most importantly. the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service Al Nelson are still right here. There is no question about what the legislative intent is or was. We are all still here to perform our oversight role.
