We have now reduced the guest worker program to 200.000 per year. and I am saying legal permanent residents should not exceed 650.000 per year under the employmentbased system. in addition to the family preference. in addition to all the other ways that you can become a legal permanent resident. So I dont think this is that unfair. It is more than twice what he and Senator KENNEDY proposed and more than four times the current law. But it does impose some cap. I understand there are people. particularly inside the beltway. who do not want any cap. A lot of the immigrant groups have indicated very clearly they are opposed to any cap. any limit in this category. Of course. the Chamber of Commerce is opposed to any limit in this category. They would prefer to be able to bring in anybody without limit.
