Mr. President. last week. I made some preliminary remarks on this legislation. and I stated that one of my concerns is that. although this bill has as its title that this is the "illegal. aliens bill. as distinct from a separate "legal" alien bill. that in fact the illegal aliens bill has spotted throughout it provisions that relate primarilyor as in this case. exclusivelyto legal aliens. So I ask my colleagues to now part the veil of legal and illegal. because we are now talking about people who are in this country legally. and whose status is about to be affected by a change in a bill whose title would lead one to believe that it only relates to those persons who are in the country illegally. What would the provision in the illegal immigration bill. S. 1664. do to those persons who are in the country legally and under current law would have the prerogative of asking the Attorney General to exercise her discretion to adjust their status? This provision. which begins on page 177. would first repeal Public Law 89732. the Cuban Adjustment Act.
