That is not a knock against the bill. the bill is fine. It would have been nice if we could have put something in there or if the other countries could address that issue to demonstrate some degree of reciprocity. The final point I would like to make though is that while we believe that the NATO personnel and their families who remain in the United States after retirement certainly should be extended this prerogative. many of the requirements are equally applicable to some other circumstances. and I would like to spend a minute or two just laying those out for my colleagues. because we need to address some of these issues and make sure that our immigration policy continues to be consistent and the rationale for our immigration policy continues to be consistent. Supporters of H.R. 429 have asserted that NATO personnel should be allowed to remain permanently in the United States for four reasons. Number one. they say their children came to the United States at elementary school age and have never experienced a lifestyle in their country of origin.
