I have become convinced. and I was the original sponsor of the 30day bill. that there are lots of people. or a good number of people. who truly deserve asylum. who cannot come forward in that period of time. The amendment that we had proposed would have been tougher on defensive asylum. but let some of these deserving people come into the country. I regret it has not been allowed to be debated. because I think we had solved the problem in the most equitable way. and yet we are not allowing it. and that is one of the reasons I will support the gentlemans amendment to modify the rule and allow that amendments like this one. carefully thought out. reasonable. dealing with the abuses. but not cutting off immigration altogether. be allowed.
