Chairman. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman. this amendment is important to restore the rights to U.S. citizens to petition for their brothers and sisters and adult children to come to America. There are currently provisions to prevent immigrants from becoming public charges. and there are additional welfare restrictions in this bill. The amendment does not change these welfare restrictions. In addition. the Senate split their immigration bill. So we will see legal immigration reform this year in the House. I ask my colleagues to support this profamily amendment and vote "yes" for this amendment.
