If I stated that they were reductions in the current law. I meant reductions in the bill. The additions in the bill are based upon what the current demands are. What you have to recognize is that each country has 20.000person ceiling. In addition. each country is limited to a certain percentage in each preference. If you reduce the worudwide level for a preference. the number of visas for that preference will become smaller for each country. We already have. under the first preference. a backlog. These are the sons and daughters of American citizens who are unable to rejoin their family.
