Individuals who meet the requirements of this bill upon date of enactment would be grandfathered in. That would be about 1.800 sailors. Let mu be clear that I view last years Immigration Act as a very generous bill. It dramatically increased the number of annual immigrant visas available. Because of this situation. I am pleased that S. 296 achieves its laudable goals by not adding additional visas to the levels we set last year. Instead. visas provided pursuant to S. 296 will be deducted from the ceilings set last year. Mr. Speaker. this bill. at every step of the way. has had wide bipartisan support.
