I yield myself the balance of my time. This amendment. I think. has been mischaracterized seriously. To allow 4 percent of new immigrants to have a chance to come to the country from underrepresented nations is a way of addressing the imbalance that I do not think anybody would disagree with that exists in the immigration patterns. whether they are accidental or purposeful. There has been no time when race and ethnicity were not primary factors in immigration policy. Please. I think this is a very important provision. The Diversity Visa Program should be sustained. and I hope that the amendment will be turned away.
