Clearly. we should do something to remedy this situation. The amendment we are offering is a very modest measure. It merely assures these families that their family members who could not qualify for legalization will not be deported. and will be authorized to work. Under this amendment. the family members who will be benefitted would have had to have been in the United States as of the date the Immigration Reform and Control Act was enactedNovember 6. 1986. Thus. this amendment would not encourage or reward any unauthorized entry since the date this new immigration law went into effect. Also. the persons benefitted by this amendment would have to wait in line along with others wishing to apply for family preference visas. The amendment also defines the period within which these individuals must apply for these visas. What this amendment accomplishes is that it keeps the family unit intact during this waiting period.
