It basically will say that adult children of American citizens will get no numbers for the next 5 years--of American citizens. adult children will get none. Let me give you what this has meant in terms of some of those in my own State. This means someone who immigrates to the United States while his daughter Is still studying abroad. marries an American. becomes a citizen in 3 years and then wants his daughter with him once she finishes college abroad. and he cannot bring her here. That means the Bosnian refugee I met in Boston who left his adult children behind because of the conflict in Bosnia could not bring them here once he becomes a citizen. It says to brothers and sisters of citizens that you will effectively be zeroed out. It says. "Take a hike." to those Americans who paid money to the Government to get their brothers and sisters here and have been waiting patiently for years.
