I think some of them have died and disappeared. that is my view. Whatever it is. it is a tremendous backlog. and it is all human beings. It would be very difficult to significantly address this backlog without coming up with an overall level of immigration which I do not think most Americans would accept. I imagine most Members of Congress would not find it supportable. In addition. because of the chain migration effect that the fifth preference causes through its recognition of married brothers and sisters and their families. if we raise the number of fifth preference immigrants. we will only concurrently raise the number of fifth preference applicants. That is what happens in this chain. You bring your brother. the brother then starts the chain. and that is the way it goes.
