Madam President. I thank the Senator from Nevada for bringing this matter to our attention once again. As we were saying a few moments ago. this was accepted in the last debate on immigration reform in 1996. When it went to conference. there were a number of us who were excluded. If we had been able to participate. we would have supported this measure. But we were in a different regime at the time. In so many areas of immigration policy there are the opportunities for abuse by a few. But as the Senator has pointed out. thousands can still be affected by the injustice. The Senator has identified one instance in which a family was harmed.
