President. I rise today in support of the HatchDeConcni amendment to S. 358. By creating a guarantee of 216.000 visas for family preference immigration. the HatchDeConcini amendment helps to ensure that the principle of family reunification will continue to guide our immigration policy. We are all concerned about maintaining some form of control over our immigration policy. However. that control should not be at the expense of family reunification. While S. 358 would continue to allow unlimited immediate relative admissions. visas for other close family members could be reduced. I oppose this reduction and I urge passage of the HatchDeConcini amendment.
