Mr. Chairman. I thank the gentleman for yielding me time. Mr. Chairman. let me make sure I make this as clear as I can: Section 245(i) within the Immigration and Naturalization Act. which this amendment by the gentleman from California would repeal. does not permit anyone to gain lawful permanent residence who would otherwise be disqualified. So if you are someone who crossed over our border without documents. you cannot qualify for adjustment to status to be a permanent resident. This only applies in the cases where people would otherwise qualify. You cannot be eligible for this program unless you meet the criteria.
