I think we will make a great mistake if we now try to broaden this law and simply say because one member of the family is qualified. you can bring in everybody. Without this requirement I do not believe the amnesty program would have been passed in the first place. We must not now make the amnesty program so broad that all public support disappears for our immigration policy. This amendment would treat illegalI want you to catch that. Mr. Presidentillegal immigrants more generously than it would legal immigrants. I believe the American public objects to such a practice. There are solutions to the problems of family members who do not qualify for the amnesty program because they enter the program too late. First of all. their relatives. when they become legal. may apply for them through the legal immigration preference system. Second. the immigration services may grant administrative relief in hardship cases. So that is fair. That is reasonable.
