President. I think I misspoke a while ago and talked about the amendment that I introduced last Fridayactually. it was last Thursdaythat Senator CORNYN and I. and I believe Senator GEORGE ALLEN is a cosponsorintroduced. amendment No. My question to the chairman is this: In the bill. there is a variety of benefits that are provided to illegal immigrants who are in the United States today in that they are allowed to gain a legal status which can lead to legal permanent residency. sometimes called a green card. from which one can apply for citizenship. There are some conditions attached to that. Is it not correct that the amendment Senator CORNYN and I offered simply adds to those requirements. or those benefits. the additional requirement that the individual seeking the benefit not have been convicted of a felony or three misdemeanors. or have violated a judges order of departure from the United States?
