Mr. President. I would like to ask the Senator from Texas to reconsider his position because we followed the language of his amendment exactly in limiting this waiver to cases where deportation of an immigrant would cause "extreme hardship to a spouse. parent or child" of the immigrant who is an American citizen or lawful permanent resident. We also followed his language exactly in committing the decision whether to grant a waiver to "the sole and unreviewable discretion" of the Attorney General or Homeland Security Secretary. In every case. the government would have complete discretion to deny the waiver. No court could review the denial of a waiver.
