Madam Chairmarn. I move to strike the requisite number of words and I rise in opposition to the amendment. My opposition to this amendment and the other amendment today is generic. It does not matter what group we are talking about. it does not matter what part of the world they come from. what is wrong with the fundamental principle of treating all immigrants equally? If we admit one group. where does it end? Why should we say one thing to one group and another thing to other groups? What about Hispanics in Central and South America. what about blacks in Africa. why are they not a part of these amendments. not a part of this bill today?
