So we are not changing a lot of other aspects of the bill. I know there are some in this Senate who think we should change other aspects. In fact. I think we should as well. But I am not trying to do that in this amendment. I am saying lets at least eliminate this 1year hiatus that is built in between each of these 2year visas we are providing for in this guest worker prograin. To me. this is eminently sensible. It is something we ought to do. Governor Napolitano wrote an oped piece in the New York Times on June 1 of this year. and she said the following: The proposed notion that temporary workers stay here for two years. return home for a year. then repeat that strange cycle two more times makes no sense.
