I rise in very strong opposition to it. Make no mistake. this amendment is a gutting amendment. H.R. 4300 is a profamily bill. yet this amendment offered in the name of belief in profamily immigration would delete a key family provision in the bill. the fifth preference backlog reduction. H.R. 4300 is a probusiness bill. It expands opportunities for American employers. large and small. to bring employersponsored immigrants who have needed skills. This amendment would delete all of the provisions in the bill for employersponsored immigration and temporary workers. H.R. 4300 as it now reads addresses a potentially disastrous takeover of Hong Kong by the Peoples Republic of China. This amendment would delete each and every one of those provisions. and this amendment would delete the provisions added to the bill by the gentleman from Massachusetts dealing with the stay of deportation or people from four countries where civil war and major conflict is now going on. This amendment destroys the coalition that supports this bill. If you believe in this bill. oppose this amendment.
