We said to them. Look. you come to the United States as a temporary worker. you work hard for 4 years. Then you have the opportunity to get a green card. 5 years later. if you pay your taxes and behave yourself. you can earn your citizenship. But they have to be able to earn the green card. With the numbers that have been increased over the course of the debate on McCainKennedy. the effect of this is going to eliminate the possibility also of those lowincome people to be able to obtain a green card over the time that they are here in the 6year period. That is effectively capping what you do. We tried to work out with the Senator from New Mexico a way to kind of deal with this disparity so we could have a fair distribution.
