That is what he is changing. We say that the reason we have this slight blip in the flow line of the increase Is because of a set of circumstances that were put in motion by Senator SIMPSON. myself. and others who voted for that 1986 act and the amnesty. It has taken 12 years or so for those individuals to get naturalized that were under the amnesty and now are joining members of the family. After a couple of years. it begins to go down. As a matter of fact. for example. the total immigration for 1995 in the family preference was 236.000. in the year 2001. it will be 226.000. These are the latest figures. We have the blip now on personal family members. We are committed. even with that. when we get to legal immigration. to lower those numbers in a way that Is going to be fair in terms of the different groups that are coming in here. We are not reducing the numbers on the real professionals that are coming in here. Senator SIMPSON reduces it to 100.000.
