If you let the parent in. you deny someone such as that the ability to come in on a more meritorious basis. That is why this is not an easy call and why we need to be clear about this. Every time we allow a chain migrant or an aging parent to take an immigration slot. we are denying someone who deeply wants to come. who could be selected on merit from the large number out there who want to come to America. that would be more successful and flourish here. That is all I am saying. We hear stories about familial reunification. I know that is nice to talk about. That could be important to an immigrant who becomes a citizen and wants to also bring their extended family. It might be important to them personally. But the real question is. what we have to ask is: Is this important to the national interest?
