Let me tell you why it is not a hardhearted approach. That is not my style. This amendment. and all of the other amendments. would increase the number of visas in the fifth preference. I am resisting that. and I am not doing that because I am antiimmigrant or antifamily or antianything else that smells of mom and the flag and apple pie. That is what happens in this debate all the time. Instead. I believe it is darned well time for our Government to face the unfortunate but ridiculously cold reality that there are many more people who want to come here than there is room or intent to accommodate.
