Speaker. I rise in support of this motion to instruct our conferees. The permanent extension of 245(1) really flies in the face of immigration reform. Whatever we need to do to work out immigration problems for people who are already in the country I think can be done within this motion to instruct. But certainly leaving this on the books. making it easier for people to illegally come to the country than for people to legally come to the country hurts people who are waiting to come to the country. It keeps peoples families separated who have been in line. who have been waiting to come to the country. Ending section 245(1) will not be harmful to businesses who employ legal aliens. Those individuals are already protected under 245(a). which says if you fall through the cracks. if there is some error that is not your fault that puts your status here in jeopardy. without paying $1.000 you can get that straightened out. This is really designed to protect the people who are here legally. working hard. having their families together. not to open the door to illegal aliens.
