We are changing it because you are moving numbers around. People will be able to come into this country. There will be a job out there. a person will be able to apply for it and come in here. but they cant get the green card because we only have a certain number of green cards. So that person will not be able to get the green card. So they will never be able to make an application for permanent residency. That is the effect of it. If the Senator wanted to work with uswhich we indicated we were going toand put in that kind of cap and work this around so we could still maintain that aspect in the legislation. we were glad to do it. But once you have that limitation which is in effect nowis in effect nowthis skews this whole process in terms of green card and normalization to the highest skilled individual and says to those people we have been trying to deal with there is pressure on the border. We spend an enormous amount of time with guest workers saying: You are going to be treated with respect. no Braceros. You are going to work hard for 4 years. and there is going to be a green card out there. and you can work 5 more years. work hard. play by the rules. pay your taxes. and get citizenship. Can the Senator give us assurance that under his proposal someone who comes as a guest worker and works 4 years is going to be able to get the green card and go for citizenship?
