There is still the opportunity to become a legal permanent resident as part of this family preference category. That is 480.000 per year. and we are not in any way affecting that with my amendment. There is still the opportunity. if you are already here in this country and you have been here 2 years under this legislation and you are undocumented. you can go through the earned legalization provisions in the bill and become a legal permanent resident. We are not in any way affecting any of that or trying to limit that. If you are an agricultural worker. there are 1.5 million blue card agricultural workers who are provided with an opportunity to become legal permanent residents in this bill. but we are not in any way affecting that.
