The authors of this bill want to go way behond that. and they have a variety of categories. They talk about labor shortages and so forth. but they do not ever talk about the amnesties that are in this bill for a large number of different nationalities that are in the country at the present time. provisions that were lobbied into this bill by special interest groups from all over the country all over the world. We ought to be making immigration policy for the benefit of the American people. not for the benefit of whoever shows up here lobbying and asking us to put their particular wish into our wish list bill. which is what this is. unless it is amended. My amendment simply says we are going to allow for family unity but we are not going to increase above the current levels the number of immigrants which we allow in or out of the country legally. It is a sound. prudent approach supported by the administration. I think it is supported by the American people.
