So you would think that in the legislation we are debating. those who have obeyed the law. followed the rules. and those who are U.S. citizens and have done the right thing. that we would not extinguish. eliminate their right for having done the right thingfor having done the right thing. But that is the very essence of what this bill does. unless we adopt our amendment. Under the bill. not only does. of course. the Senate bill propose a radical change to who and how you can come to this country. but it also cancels the applications that are pendingpendingof many people who have been waiting patiently in line for familybased visas. If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent residlent. you filed after May of 2005. the date that arbitrarily was taken and put into the bill to bring in a relative to the family immigration system. your application is gone. It is voided. You are told: Get to the back of the linethe back of the line. by the way. which is the back of the line with people who violated the law. who violated the law.
