In fact. it is not justified. I wish to point out how certainly broad this amendment is under this proposal. If you follow this. a family member of a formerly illegal alien who enters the United States illegally 1 day before the President signed the bill would be granted the same status that is being given to someone who has lived here illegally for 5 years. That is what this amendment does. without any question. The new immigration law recognized certain equities. We talked about equities that longterm illegal residents have established in this country. No such equities have been established by someone who came to this country last November. That is not the way equities are calculated. Another aspect of how broad is this amendment. another case. is an illegal alien family member who spent 4 years. 11 months. 15 days. who chose to be separated voluntarily in the United States may choose to have legal status based on their having been here illegally this past 11 months. Earlier this year we saw an effort by some organizations to weaken the employer sanction provisions in the new law. There were some good reasons presented as to timing and the delivery of the 19 form to the employers and that type of thing.
