Speaker. let me reiterate what has been said before about 245(i). Section 245(1) will not help anybody who does not have a legal basis to stay. If you are an immigrant. you do not have a legal basis to stay. If you jump the fence to get Into the United States. not all the kings horses nor all the kings men nor 245(1) will help you stay in the United States. This is about immigrants who have a legal basis to stay. It is about the hardship on families for those who are here who sooner or later are going to get their adjustment in immigration status. The question is. do we disrupt families. do we send them back and keep families from being together and making those leave the United States and go to their host country to await adjustment of status. or do we keep them here and keep families together? That is the question.
