In most cases. at least several years. and in some cases. up to 10 years10 years. Now. I ask Members of the Senate: Given that it takes up to 10 years for the guy who abided by the law to bring his wife to this country illegally. do we really want to adopt an amendment that says to the 2 million people around the world who have applied to come to America legally. under our existing quota system. "We are not worried about you. because you abided by the law. We are going to say to the fellow who violated the law and whose spouse violated the law that they can come here and be here instantaneously "? I understand what the distinguished Senator is trying to do.
