Mr. President. we are talking about familybased immigration. That is what I keep hearing. That is our heritage. If that is our heritage. then let us do it. We do it pretty well right now. 480.000. The Senator is correct on those visas. What we are talking about is spouses and children of citizens. Only if spouses and children of citizens take all of the available visas will the more distant family preferences be squeezed. We make 480.000 visas available for family. Now. that is the way It is. All this bill provides Is that 80 percent of all visas go to the closest family member. That Is what we are doing. There is nothing sinister about it. If you are going to have family reunification. let us not have family reunions. Let us call it family reunification. and that is a spouse or a child. That is not your niece. It is not your brotherinlaw.
