Speech #1090138832

This amendment will substantially limit the ability of members of a family to accompany those who come into the United States and take jobs where they will be productive. I believe having family present is a very high value. This amendment. in putting a cap on. leaving no flexibility for family members to accompany the immigrant. is just basically a bad idea. We have sufficient room to accommodate the immigrants who are permitted to come in under the guest worker program. and accommodating the guest worker ought to include their family. They ought not to be separated from their family. We ought not to have a statute on this important subject which has that very undesirable family result.
