There is one final point 1 wish to make. We have a system. as the Senator from North Dakota pointed out. where people will work here. go back to their country of origin for a period of time. come back to work. go back to their country. and come back to work. Under our proposal. they get a certain number of points under the merit system which help move them on a pathway toward a green card and toward citizenship. 1 wish that merit system could be changed in a way that favored workers more extensively and provided a greater balance between low skill and high skill because the labor market demands both. If you read the reports of the Council of Economic Advisers. you find there is a need for high skill. but 8 out of the 10 critical occupations are also low skill. We have tried. during this process. to see if we couldnt find eqjual incentives for both.
