I believe that this family should have been kept together. They narrowly missed the amnesty program. The wife would eventually qualify for permanent residence based on her husbands amnesty. They had two Americancitizen children. And the Immigration Service had established a policy to limit the deportation of spouses and children of amnesty recipients. However. my office was informed that this case fell outside this socalled family fairness policy. Clearly. if that policy will not help this family. with all its equities. then the policy needs adjustment. That is what the amendment by the Senator from Rhode Island would responsibly do.
