We are not in here just diddling around. So then we are going to examine that. We are going to examine the impact of immigration on labor needs. employment and other economic and domestic conditions in the United States. the impact of immigration with respect to demographic and fertility rates and resources and environmental factors. We talk all day about acid rain and greenhouse effect. How about immigration? That is where you have to find a place on in this country for a home and a family to surround you. That is what you provide. And those demand our attention. too. together with the impact of immigration on the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States. Well. I have been through that one. too. because not only do we have real refugees. we have economic refugees. and we have financial refugees. and we have foreign policy refugees. We have four different categories of those except there is only one true refugee in the statute books. So here we are. now. with an amendment which takes away the ability of the Congress and the President to do what we are supposed to do. which is what we do not like to do. So we provide a very flexible triennial process for these changes to be considered.
