Speech #1090132249

We have added in this amendment an opportunity for Mrs. Benitez to appeal for a humanitarian waiver for family circumstances. The language of this amendment bears repeating so the intent is clear. We give to those aliens who would be subject to deportation an opportunity to petition in cases of extreme hardship if the alien spouse. parent. or child Is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. We have created a family unification. humanitarian waiver. nonreviewable. but at least it gives Mrs. Benitez and people like her a chance to say: Let me keep my family together.
