Chairman. I rise in opposition to the amendment. and I wish to join in the absolutely ontarget comments both of the chairman of the committee and the gentleman from California . I rise to underscore the inconsistency of this amendment with what the gentleman from Texas has been saying ought to be a priority in our immigration system. The gentleman has said that he wants to see skilled workers brought into the country. and that the legislation needs to focus on that as a priority. This amendment would reduce and could even eliminate entirely the number of visas set aside in the legislation for employmentbased immigration. The amendment is at war with the statement of the gentleman about what his priorities are. and for that reason. as well as the reason that imposing this artificial cap does nothing for the other principles of our Immigration system. preserving diversity and unifying families. means that this amendment is really internally inconsistent with the stated goals of the person who is proposing it.
