We are talking about permitting families to live together. To me that is not a killer amendment. This limit on family preference immigration would be calculated by subtracting the number of immediate relatives visas issued from 480.000. an arbitrary figure set there. and that is where we come up with this socalled cap. It is no cap except as to the second group that I talked about. visa applications with other family preferences. those other four preferences. For example. last year. 220.000 immediate relative immigrants came into the United States leaving 260 family preferences visas that could have been granted. So we had in the first group 220.000 immediate relatives. It could have been a million. it could have been 480.000.
