I will differ with you. but I can understand and respect it. But what is happening is a complete distortion and misrepresentation as to what we have. On law enforcement. this is the language from the legislation: The requirement to eliminate the visa backlog. If the backlog of applications for familybased and employerbased immigrant visas is not eliminated within the 6 years following the date of enactment. as predicted under the formula set out in title V. the amendments made by the title. the Secretary shall hold in abeyance an applicationthat means you go to the end of the linesubmitted by an alien granted conditional nonimmigrant work authorization. Those are the two aspects of it: the one that sets out the requirements of what an individual is going to have to do in 11 years and this provision in the legislation that says they will go effectively to the back of the line. That is how we deal with the 11 million individuals who are here.
