I have stated that before. I am simply not convinced that a history of breaking the law contributes to this goal more than education and experience. My amendment simply strikes the special schedule that makes people who have violated our immigration laws eligible for points that others are not eligible for. I strike that provision. I just strike that provision so it puts everyone on a level playing field. Visa holders would. however. still be eligible. up to their 100 points we provided in there under the regular schedulethe exact same number as anybody else. We should not reward those who have broken the law. and we certainly should not punish those who have abided by the law. I urge my colleagues to support that amendment when it comes up for a vote.
