Mr. President. this amendment is about children. It is abo)I t the children of legal immigrants. It is also about deeming. What we are saying is. under this program. legal immigrant children are not going to be excluded from the range of benefits. We are saying you are deemed to the person that is going to sponsor you. If that person that sponsors you runs into hard times. we will not deny the children the benefits they would otherwise receive. That is half the legal immigrants children. The other half have no sponsorno sponsorhave no one to deem to because they are the children of those who come here under the work permit. We should not exclude those individuals. They will become Americans. one. and two. more frequently than not. they are with divided households where brothers and sisters would be eligible.
