It is not a Democratic issue. There are some very difficult issues that we have had to address here. and I will just say to my colleagues that. in addressing those issues. the Committee on the Judiciary took every single point that was made in the general debate into account. There are people in the general debate who are saying we should not have an H1B program at all because we got enough American workers here in our country to meet the need. There are people who said we ought to increase it a lot more than we increase it in either this bill or in my substitute. There are people who are all over the waterfront on this issue. and we tried to take every single view into account as we went through the process.
