I think we need to make progress. There is no reason in the world we shouldnt be discussing that in an effective way. Over the past 5 years. approximately 950.000almost 1 millionextended family members immigrated to the United States and immediately received a green cardlawful permanent resident who will never have to leave. The numbers equal about 20 percent of all aliens who immigrated to the United States in the last 5 years. Immigration. therefore. makes up a significant portion of familybased immigration. If we want to discuss the percentage of familybased immigration and increase the percentage of skillbased. it makes sense that we would deal with this issue. I think this amendment needs to be considered. I am disappointed that we really have not had time. with cloture being filed we will not have time to seriously discuss that.
