We have structured the bill on a matter of principle. that those who are here the longest have the most roots and deserve the most consideration. The top tier was those who have been here 5 years or more. Selecting the date of January 7. 2004. as a cutoff date was done because that was the date of the Presidents speech on immigration reform. And anybody who came to the United States was on notice that they would be treated differently. Under ideal circumstances. if we didnt have a tenuous coalition and we didnt have a conference prospectively with the House.
