We are here in the Chafee amendment giving an advantage that we do not give to permanent resident aliens who have been waiting to have their spouses and minor children to join them for maybe 11 years. How can you possibly give a benefit to a person who just got legalized and bring in their spouse and minor children when you do not do it for permanent resident aliens who have been here? And a permanent resident alien can have his or her spouse deported under present law. and yet this person cannot? It strains all sense. The Senator from Rhode Island proposed the amendment before. and it has been changed slightly.
