These provisions were added in the conference. They do not have to do with terrorism. I am asking only to strike sections 414. 422. and 423. These are general immigration matters. They should be in the immigration bill. They should not be in this antiterrorism bill. I tried to amend these provisions during the Judiciary Committee consideration of the immigration bill. I failed on a tie vote. I circulated a "Dear Colleague" earlier this week. making clear my Intention to try to change this. These provisions are bad policy. They are going to make bad law. and they are put in here for the first time In a conference report.
