But. Mr. President. it seems to me we crossed the Rubicon on that situation. We made the choice. We decided that we are going to treat this group differently. They were here. There were millions of them. We said look. for practical. for political. for compassionate reasons we cannot do anything about it. We cannot ferret everybody out who is an illegal alien arid send them home. So we said there is going to be a cutoff date for them. But I could not believe we really thoroughly thought about the spouses and minor children that might come shortly thereafter.
