And so I come to the floor eager. prejudiced against trying to change anything that is in the bill. partly because the chairman of the subcommittee very graciously accommodated many of us when we attempted in committee and succeeded to negotiate with him amelioratory changes that came a long way toward meeting numbers of concerns. So where are we? I am willing to set aside the prejudice that I have as a son of immigrants and I am willing to set aside the prejudice that I have that this is a bill that should be passed unchanged. I know that we have concerns. I have met some people in the corridors and in the offices all day today concerned about the unification features of the quotas. who are concerned about verification by employers. who are concerned about a great number of things. But one thing we must all agree. we should not allow the separation of the issues of legal and illegal immigration because we are dealing with one great number. and it is that number which we must fashion best for our Nation.
