That is what this bill does because it limits that group as the immediate family members grow. I do not think that is good policy. The General Accounting Office predicts. as the senior Senator from California has already pointed out. by the year 1999. 10 years from now. immediate family immigration will total 480.000 and as a result of that family preference immigration under S. 358 would be zero. So this second group is gone in 10 years. The Senator from Wyoming said we only address immigration four times in a century. Maybe we will address it four times in the next 10 years or one more time in the next 10 years but why put into the law something that is literally going to wipe out a whole preference. and that preference is family members.
