We should not change. Now is the time for us to be flexible. Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act provides very needed flexibility for our business community and for very closeknit families. You have to be a spouse. a child or a parent to qualify. or you have to have a job in hand. because the business has proven to the Department of Labor that no other worker is available. Mr. Speaker. let us understand what this is. Section 245(i) does not serve as a magnet for illegal immigration. nor does it give some type of benefit to someone who just walks into this country and says "now I want to be able to stay." You have to have a legal basis to be In this country in order to qualify. and then you pay a fine of $1.000. The fine has been used mostly for the purpose of helping to deter future illegal immigration. It is well worth it to have it. It provides the flexibility.
