Mr. President. we are at the time where. in just a few minutes. we will be making a decision about expanding a provision of the immigration law that provides for temporary workers. This is a provision now that has been. by and large. used for workers 85 percent of whom make $75.000 or less. There is a small group of highly skilled. highly talented individuals who do a great deal better than that. They are really not an issue in this particular amendment. as far as I am concerned. because they only take a very small number of the green cards that will be issued. There is a substantive question about how much of a problem there Is. Under the Abraham amendment. we will temporarily be opening up this quota in a very significant way. Tens of thousands of new immigrants will be coming to the United States. In our particular proposal. that was not so. Let me read two letters that indicate what the challenge is.
